Frontline Combo Cat

• Used in the treatment and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides spp.) and tick (Rhipicephalus spp., Dermatocentor spp., Ixodes spp.) infestations in cats.
• Treatment and control of flea allergy dermatitis in cats.
• Prevention of flea multiplication by stopping the development of eggs, larvae, and pupae from eggs laid by fleas for 6 weeks after application.
• Prevention and treatment of louse infestations in cats.

Presentation:

• is a treatment that kills fleas and ticks by contact of the parasite with the medicine applied to your pet's skin.
• After application, it does not enter the animal's bloodstream, but concentrates in the sebum of its skin (a thin surface layer), thus being stored in the sebaceous glands. It is characterized, therefore, by storage for several weeks after application, being resistant to rain, baths, and shampoos.
• Respecting a 48-hour interval between application and water exposure, and without exceeding one bath and one shampoo per week, FRONTLINE remains effective even after bathing and shampooing.
• Fleas and ticks are killed when they come into contact with the insecticidal molecule on your animal's skin. It acts on the nervous system of parasites, which die due to nervous hyperexcitation. FRONTLINE provides additional security against fleas: it also contains an insect growth regulator. This regulator prevents the infestation of the home with eggs laid before the flea's death.

Product mode of action:

• On fleas
  • kills adult fleas within 24 hours of them coming onto the animal. FRONTLINE Combo offers double security: it also prevents the contamination of the home with flea eggs and larvae.

• On ticks
  • eliminates over 90% of ticks within 48 hours of their attachment to the cat, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission. This risk is highest 48 hours after the tick attaches to the animal.

• On animal lice
  
  • kills lice present on the animal within a maximum of 48 hours.
