How does Activyl Tick Plus Spot-On for Dogs work?
The active ingredients in Activyl Tick Plus Spot-On for Dogs are indoxacarb and permethrin. Indoxacarb is a unique ingredient which works through bioactivation (also known as metabolic activation).
When applied to the surface of the skin, the flea then takes the product up and converts it into a metabolite which prevents sodium ions from flowing into nerve cells. This then leads to the paralysis and death of the parasite to eliminate infestations.
Meanwhile, permethrin works by paralysing the ticks to kill them and also works to kill their eggs. This is particularly important in ending the life cycle and preventing reinfestation.
Instructions for Activyl Tick Plus Spot-On for Dogs
When you receive the medication, it’s important to read and understand the dosage instructions. The strength and dose of the medication will depend on the size of your pet.
Always use medications as directed. To calculate the proper dose for your pet, ensure accuracy is used when measuring their bodyweight. The size of pipette selected should be based on this.
The dosage guide is then the contents of one full pipette, applied to the back of your animal’s neck. Be sure to part their hair or fur before applying, to make sure it gets to the skin. Once applied, allow to dry and ensure your animal (or another animal) doesn’t lick the product in the meantime.
