Pharmachologic effect. Frontline Combo drops have a pronounced contact insectoacaricidal action, active against the preimaginal and imaginal phases of development of lice, fleas, lice and ticks (ixodid, cheilitella). The mechanism of action of fipronil, which is part of Frontline Combo drops, is to block the GABA-dependent (GABA-gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors of parasites, impair the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites. S-methoprene inhibits the juvenile hormone that promotes the formation of chitin, thereby disrupting the development of fleas at the egg and larval stage. When applied to the skin, the drug is not absorbed, but gradually, within 24 hours, is distributed over the surface of the body and, being reserved in the sebaceous glands, has a long-term insectoacaricidal effect in the places of localization of ectoparasites. |
| Application and dosage | Before processing, the tip is removed from the pipette, then the animal's hair is pushed apart in the back (between the shoulder blades) and, pressing the pipette, the preparation is applied to the skin at several points in places inaccessible for licking by animals. |
| Contraindications and side effects | Not allowed for use by sick and recovering animals, kittens under 8 weeks of age. It is not recommended to wash animals within 48 hours after treatment with Frontline Combo, as well as to use other insecticidal acaricides. |
