Viatris Fipronil / S-Methoprene 134 mg/120.6 mg for an average dog weighing 10–20 kg, 3 pipettes

Why choose Viatris Fipronil/S-Methoprene pipettes for medium-sized dogs?

Fleas and ticks cause severe itching and skin allergies (DAPP) and can transmit serious, debilitating diseases (Lyme disease, piroplasmosis). Viatris Fipronil / S-Methoprene for Medium Dogs combines two leading active ingredients for dual preventive and curative action:

1. Elimination of adult parasites (Fipronil - 134 mg):

• A powerful insecticide and acaricide that kills fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.) as well as ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and lice.

2. Interruption of the reproductive cycle (S-Methoprene - 120.6 mg):

• An insect growth regulator (IGR) that stops the maturation of flea eggs, larvae, and pupae. It prevents contamination of the indoor environment (beds, rugs, sofas).

3. Dosage perfectly suited for the average dog:

• Formulated for the body surface area and physiology of dogs weighing 10 to 20 kg (Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Spaniel, Border Collie, French Bulldog, etc.).

Indications and Benefits of Treatment

This veterinary antiparasitic medication is recommended for:

• Treating and preventing flea infestations (insecticidal efficacy for 8 weeks).
• Treating and eliminating ticks (acaricidal efficacy for 4 weeks).
• Preventing flea reproduction by inhibiting the development of eggs and larvae for 8 weeks.
• Treating infestations caused by chewing lice (Trichodectes canis).
• Use as part of a treatment strategy for Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).

How often should Viatris Fipronil/S-Methoprene pipettes be used on a medium-sized dog?

It is recommended to reapply every 4 weeks to ensure continuous tick control and maintain maximum effectiveness against fleas.

Why is S-Methoprene essential in the pipette?

While fipronil kills adult fleas on the dog, S-methoprene prevents the development of eggs and larvae laid in your home, thereby reducing the risk of repeated infestations.
