Fipronil and methoprene are used in the control and treatment of all stages of flea infestations and tick infestations in dogs and cats. Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole antiparasitic agent and methoprene is an insect growth regulator. Combined together, fipronil and methoprene kill adult and larval fleas as well as flea eggs. All stages of ticks are also killed.
Fiprofort plus spot-on comes with fipronil 9.8% w/v and (S)-methoprene 8.8% (11.8 % in cat preparations). Fipronil belongs to the phenylpyrazole group. It acts on the chloride channels and their ligands, especially GABA neurotransmitter. It causes the death of parasites. It kills fleas within 24 hours and ticks and lice within 48 hours of application.
