Effipro antiparasitic pipettes for dogs weighing between 10 and 20 kg Effipro antiparasitic pipettes are a great help in the care of medium-sized dogs weighing between 10 and 20 kg, as they are essential for the control and prevention of fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.) and ticks (Rhipycephalus sanguineus, Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus). This medicine is intended for external use on dogs and is one of the most convenient and easy to use, thanks to its spot-on system. Eliminating parasites also improves the general well-being of your pet by eliminating the discomfort caused by these insects, such as itching. In addition, it provides crucial prevention for your dog, as it prevents the onset of diseases transmitted by these parasites. This product from Virbac Laboratories keeps your dog free from adult fleas for eight weeks and protects it against ticks for four weeks. If your pet was already infested with parasites, it will die between 48 hours and a week after treatment, as a result of fipronils action on the central nervous system. ADVANTAGES Antiparasitic treatment for medium-sized dogs weighing between 10 and 20 kg. Completely eliminates fleas and ticks. Provides effective protection for eight weeks against fleas and four weeks against ticks. Parasites die between 48 hours and one week after the first application. USE AND SPECIFICATIONS Topical external antiparasitic that effectively combats the presence of fleas and ticks, especially indicated for dogs weighing between 10 and 20 kg. Directions for use: Part your pet’s fur along the upper back to expose the skin. Apply the tip of the pipette directly to the skin, emptying the contents completely by gently shaking the pipette. Be sure to apply the product to an area where your pet cannot lick it or where other animals cannot lick each other. Avoid getting the product too wet on your pet’s fur; it can give it a sticky appearance. However, if this happens, the product will disappear within 24 hours. Do not apply this product to lesions or wounds. Bathing your pet with shampoo one hour before treatment does not affect the effectiveness of the product. However, bathing or immersion in water should be avoided for two days after application. Weekly immersion in water for one minute reduces the duration of effectiveness of flea insecticides by one week. The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to your pet. If you have previously treated your pet for tick exposure, the ticks will die within 24-48 hours of attachment. Once dead, the ticks usually fall off the animal, but any remaining ticks can be removed. Fleas on pets typically infest baskets, bedding, and sleeping areas, such as carpets and mattresses. These can be treated using an appropriate insecticide and regular vacuuming. Composition Fipronil (100 mg) Recommended period of use: The minimum interval between treatments is four weeks.
