Fipronil Flea&Tick Spray

Active Ingredients: Fipronil

Fipronil Flea&Tick Spray is a ready-to-use antiparasitic treatment used to treat and control external parasite infestations on dogs and cats. It is effective against all life stages of ticks, fleas, and lice. Topical Fipronil provides up to 3 months of protection against fleas and 1 month for ticks.

Fipronil Flea&Tick Spray is safe to use for young, pregnant, or lactating animals. This product is intended for veterinary use only.

Fipronil is classified as a phenylpyrazole with insecticidal and acaricidal action. It works by affecting the nervous system of the parasite. It binds to and blocks the GABA-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels in the nerve cells of insects. This blockage inhibits the transmission of nerve impulses, leading to hyperexcitation of the parasite's nervous system, paralysis, and ultimately death.

Unlike organophosphates or carbamates, Fipronil is not a cholinesterase inhibitor, making it a different class of insecticide. This mode of action is highly effective against pests like fleas and ticks but is relatively safe for mammals, including dogs and cats, due to their lower affinity for mammalian GABA receptors and higher body mass.

Fipronil also exhibits a "cascade effect" on fleas and ticks. After being applied to the skin of an animal, it spreads via the oil glands and hair, covering the entire body surface. This action ensures prolonged external protection. Residual activity and persistence of Fipronil on the skin and coat of dogs and cats provide long-lasting efficacy.

The drug is minimally absorbed systemically, primarily acting at the site of application. It's effective against a wide range of ectoparasites and is particularly valued for its persistent killing activity even after exposure to sunlight, water, or other environmental elements.
