Frontline tri-act 5-10kg 3 pipettes

Frontline tri-act 5-10kg 3 pipettes combines fipronil and permethrin in size S spot-on pipettes, dosed for dogs weighing 5 to 10 kg. The pack includes 3 pipettes.

Indications

In dogs diagnosed with flea allergy dermatitis, it is included in the management plan. Its acaricidal action is immediate against Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Ixodes ricinus and lasts for 4 weeks. It is indicated against fleas and ticks in cases where an additional repellent (anti-feeding) effect against sand flies, biting lice, and mosquitoes is desirable. The anti-feeding effect of permethrin deters the insect before it bites.

Usage and guidelines

Permethrin can induce seizures, even fatal ones, in cats. Keep cats away from the treated dog until the area is dry. The size is chosen based on the dog's actual weight, not its apparent size. In case of accidental exposure of a cat, wash it with soap and notify the veterinarian immediately. At 4 weeks per application, the 3-pipette pack provides 3 periods of protection against fleas.
