Effitix Spot On is an external anti-parasite for dogs based on fipronil and permethrin. It eliminates fleas and ticks, repels mosquitoes and sandflies, and prevents infestations for 4 weeks. Ideal for dogs exposed to high-risk areas. Available in a range of dosages to suit the animal's weight.
Effitix Spot On combines fipronil and permethrin, two powerful active ingredients that work in synergy to effectively eliminate fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and sandflies in dogs. This topical solution works in just a few hours, killing existing fleas within 24 hours and preventing new infestations for up to 4 weeks. The product provides lasting protection for your four-legged friend against external parasites, while limiting the risk of bites and skin infections.
In dogs, Effitix Spot On targets multiple parasite infestations, including those posing more serious health risks. It offers prolonged acaricidal action on tick species such as Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Even if not all ticks die within 48 hours, the effect lasts for 4 weeks, reducing the risk of transmitting diseases such as canine babesiosis, a dreaded disease among dogs active in the wild.
Thanks to its powerful repellent effect, Effitix Spot On also acts against sandflies (Phlebotomus perniciosus) and mosquitoes (Culex pipiens, Aedes aegypti). By repelling these biting insects, the product not only protects your dog against the inconvenience of their bites, but also against vector-borne diseases such as leishmaniasis or mosquito-borne infections. A single application is enough to keep these pests at bay for a whole month.
Fipronil's pharmacological action is based on blocking the chloride channels activated by GABA and glutamate. By inducing hyperactivity in the insects' central nervous system, the product paralyzes them, leading to their death. This targeted mode of action makes the treatment both effective and selective, with high tolerance in dogs.
Permethrin, a member of the pyrethroid family, completes this action with its neurotoxic effect on sodium channels. It causes nervous hyperexcitability, leading to the rapid death of parasites. This effect translates into immediate insecticidal and acaricidal action, but also into lasting repellence, preventing parasites from attaching themselves and feeding.
In terms of pharmacokinetics, the active ingredients are uniformly distributed in the coat in less than 24 hours. Fipronil and permethrin remain detectable in the dog's coat and body for more than 35 days, providing long-lasting anti-parasite coverage. This persistence optimizes reinfestation prevention, particularly during the summer months or in areas of high parasite pressure.
In conclusion, Effitix Spot On offers comprehensive, long-lasting protection for dogs exposed to various types of external parasites. It's a strategic solution for owners wishing to protect their dogs in all situations: walks in the forest, vacations in wetlands or simply living in a rural environment.
