What is Ringworm?
Feline Dermatophytosis, also known as Ringworm, is a highly contagious, superficial fungal disease of the hair, skin and nails. Although Ringworm can be relatively easy to diagnose, resolution of the infection can take several months. The most effective treatments usually involve a combination of systemic, topical and environmental approaches. Treating cats can generally be challenging due to usual difficulties in bathing and administering pills, as well as their tendency to lick off topical products.
What does treating my cat look like?
It’s important to remember that you can play an important role in the effectiveness of your cat’s recovery:
- Follow the exact treatment and approach prescribed by your veterinarian
- Maintain appointments with your veterinarian to monitor ringworm cultures and overall progress
- Prevent contamination of the environment during treatment
- Minimize exposure to family members and other animals in your home

Very Happy
By buzzbee on Nov 12, 2019
I wanted to wait 6 weeks before giving my review. I find this to be a great product. It looks like the ringworm is gone. The cat had no problems taking the medication when mixed in with his food. Although I think he enjoyed getting wet food rather than dry food. It is expensive but I am so happy it worked. Thank you

important product at a shelter
By sheltervolunteer on Oct 5, 2019
This product is superior to others because it is given everyday for a week, then a week off, and so on. It worked well for our last case of ring worm, so hopefully it works this time. It gets expensive, though, when you have a lot of shelter cats to treat.

Good antifungal treatment and palatable for cats
By Itrafungol on Jan 17, 2019
One of our cats developed ringworm and naturally it's very contagious. Intrafungol was recommended to stop the fungus from growing so we have been using it for a couple of weeks. We have noticed a sharp reduction in our affected cats but we also have combined this treatment with miconozole baths. We haven't noticed any significant side effects with the cats so we are very happy with the product.

Good product
By Jnays on Dec 5, 2018
We are using this to treat ringworm on our kitten. I was afraid there might be side affects but she has been fine. Her hair is already growing back on the affected areas after one week of treatment.
