Advocate dogs 4-10kg 3 pipettes | external antiparasitic spot-on solution

Advocate for dogs 4-10 kg 3 pipettes contains three spot-on pipettes for dogs weighing 4 to 10 kg. It combines two active ingredients with different mechanisms of action, imidacloprid 10% and moxidectin 2,5%, and is administered topically.

What is it for

Imidacloprid, from the chloronicotinyl group, acts on flea larvae and adult fleas, and is rapidly distributed through the skin during the first day. Moxidectin, a macrocyclic lactone from the milbemycin family, is absorbed through the skin and enters the systemic circulation; therefore, it reaches internal parasites such as L3 and L4 larvae of Dirofilaria immitis and gastrointestinal nematodes.

This sum results in a spectrum that includes fleas, ear mites (Otodectes cynotis), scabies, lice, filariasis, and intestinal worms.

How it is used

According to the manufacturer, it is applied once a month to combat fleas and prevent heartworm, and ear mites are treated with a single dose. Always use the entire contents of the pipette. The veterinarian will adjust the treatment regimen for each individual case.
