When treating localized demodex (one or two small spots), I like Goodwinol ointment.
If that is ineffective or when dealing with generalized demodex a more intense treatment is indicated. Mitaban works, but the only time I use it is when I have a breed that might be sensitive to the higher doses of ivermectin (or other avermectin) necessary for treatment.
Ivermectin is my treatment of choice in most generalized cases.
Use here for mange is an "off label" situation. It is a commonly accepted, effective and safe use, but this drug has not been approved for this specific condition or application.
