FRONTLINE® TRI-ACT for Dogs 40 - 60 kg

Product information & legal information

FRONTLINE TRI-ACT® is a veterinary medicinal product for the protection of dogs against fleas, ticks, and flying insects such as mosquitoes, sand flies, and stable flies. The combination of fipronil and permethrin possesses both killing and repellent properties.

This variant containing 405.6 mg of fipronil and 3,028.8 mg of permethrin is intended for dogs with a body weight of 40 to 60 kg.

What is it intended for?

FRONTLINE TRI-ACT® is used for the treatment and prevention of flea and/or tick infestations when a repellent effect against sand flies, stable flies, and/or mosquitoes is also required.

The product also reduces the risk of infection with Leishmania infantum.

Properties and effect

FRONTLINE TRI-ACT® combines two active ingredients:

• Fipronil has a killing effect against fleas and ticks.

• Permethrin has a repellent and killing effect against ticks and flying insects, as well as a killing effect against fleas.

Key features:

• Acts against fleas and ticks

• Repellent effect against sand flies, mosquitoes, and stable flies

• Acts upon contact with the parasites

• Supports protection against flea infestation in the home environment

• Reduces the risk of infection with Leishmania infantum

• Particularly suitable for travel to areas with a high prevalence of sand flies and other flying insects

• Simple spot-on application

• Suitable for dogs from 8 weeks of age and at least 2 kg body weight

After application, the active ingredients spread across the superficial, lipid-rich skin layer within about 1 to 2 days and are stored in the sebaceous glands. From there, they are continuously distributed over the skin and coat.

Application

FRONTLINE TRI-ACT® is applied directly to the skin as a spot-on:

1. Remove the pipette from the packaging and hold it upright.

2. Tap the tip briefly so that the liquid collects in the lower part.

3. Break off the pipette tip at the marked position.

4. Part the fur in the neck area at two spots until the skin is visible.

5. Place the pipette tip directly onto the skin and distribute the contents evenly between the two spots.

6. Empty the pipette completely.

How often to apply?

For continuous protection, FRONTLINE TRI-ACT® should be applied regularly in accordance with the package leaflet.

If protection against fleas, ticks, and flying insects is required, monthly application may be necessary.

Notes on application and environment

Intensive bathing should be avoided within 48 hours before or after treatment, as this may impair the distribution of the active ingredients.

Always use the pipette size appropriate to the dog's body weight.

In the event of a flea infestation, all susceptible animals in the household should be treated accordingly. In addition, the environment should be thoroughly cleaned. Regular vacuuming and washing of suitable textiles, bedding, and toys at at least 60 °C can support flea control.
