Description / Action: 

Fiprofort plus spot-on comes with fipronil 9.8% w/v and (S)-methoprene 8.8% (11.8 % in cat preparations). Fipronil belongs to the phenylpyrazole group. It acts on the chloride channels and their ligands, especially GABA neurotransmitter. It causes the death of parasites. It kills fleas within 24 hours and ticks and lice within 48 hours of application. It is effective on various species of ticks like Dermacentor variabilis, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Ixodes scapularis, Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes holocyclus, Haemaphysalis longicornis, Haemaphysalis flava, Haemaphysalis campanulata, Fleas (Ctenocephalides spp), biting lice (Trichodectes canis). (S)-methoprene is similar to juvenile hormone and inhibits the development of immature stages of insects. It causes impaired development and death of immature stages of fleas.  (S)-methoprene also prevents the development of larvae and pupae of fleas.
