Indications

The combination of fipronil and permethrin offers broad-spectrum protection against ectoparasites in dogs. As a tick repellent (Dermacentor reticulatus), it is effective from 7 days to 4 weeks after treatment. The anti-feeding effect of permethrin deters the insect before it bites. Against sand flies, in addition to repelling, it maintains insecticidal action for 3 weeks.

Usage and guidelines

Cats do not metabolize permethrin and may suffer fatal seizures. Keep them away from the treated dog until the application area is dry.

If the dog is pregnant or nursing, the veterinarian will decide based on the benefit/risk balance.
