Active ingredients
Fipronil.

Directions
Treatment and prevention of tick (Rhipicephalus spp., Dermacentor spp., Ixodes spp.), flea (Ctenocephalides spp.) and lice infestations in adult dogs and puppies. Fipronil rapidly exerts its lethal action on ticks, preventing the development of the parasite and the possible transmission of infections carried by the tick. It is active against the main tick species present in the country, including Ixodes ricinus, responsible for the transmission of Lyme disease to dogs, cats and humans. Fipronil acts on fleas by rapidly killing the adult forms, thus preventing the deposition of eggs and therefore new infestations. Thanks to its lethal action on adult fleas, fipronil effectively contributes to the control and resolution of Flea Allergic Dermatitis (FAD), which in dogs is caused by the sensitizing action of antigens contained in the saliva of these parasites. Furthermore, with a single treatment, fipronil quickly and definitively controls and resolves lice infestations, particularly those caused by Trichodectes canis, the dog chewing louse.

Dosage
It is presented in single-dose pipettes containing different volumes of product, depending on the weight of the dog. 1 pipette of 0.67 ml for dogs weighing between 2 and 10 kg; 1 pipette of 1.34 ml for dogs weighing between 10 and 20 kg; 1 pipette of 2.68 ml for dogs weighing between 20 and 40 kg; 1 pipette of 4.02 ml for dogs weighing between 40 and 60 kg. The indicated dosage corresponds to the minimum recommended dose of 6.7 mg/kg of fipronil. For dogs weighing more than 60 kg, use 1 pipette of 4.02 ml and 1 pipette of the most appropriate lower strength (0.67 ml or 1.34 ml or 2.68 ml): break the pre-cut end of the pipette. Apply the product to the skin of the interscapular area, an area where the dog cannot lick itself, avoiding the removal of the product. The contents of the pipette should be applied directly to the skin and not to the fur: press on the walls of the pipette until completely empty. A single application of the product protects the animal from new infestations by ticks, fleas and lice, in particular: - from ticks: up to 1 month after treatment - from fleas: up to 3 months after treatment. For correct ectoparasitic prevention, it is advisable to carry out monthly treatments during the periods of greatest seasonality. In the absence of data on safety, the minimum treatment interval must be 4 weeks.
