FRONTLINE®TRI-ACT for dogs 5-10 kg

Product Information & Legal Notices

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 insecticidal and repellent properties.

This variant, containing 67.6 mg of fipronil and 504.8 mg of permethrin, is intended for dogs with a body weight of 5 to 10 kg.

Intended Use

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 an insecticidal effect against fleas and ticks.

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

Key features:

• Protection against fleas and ticks

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

• Acts through contact with parasites

• Supports protection against flea infestation in the home environment

• Reduces the risk of infection with Leishmania infantum

• Water-resistant after the required distribution period

• Particularly suitable for travel to areas with a high prevalence of flying insects

• Simple spot-on application

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

After application, the active ingredients spread across the superficial, lipid-rich layer of the skin within approximately 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 as a spot-on directly to the skin:

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 indicated mark.

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

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

6. Empty the pipette completely.

Frequency of Use

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

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

Notes on Use 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 for the dog's body weight.

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