Quali principi attivi contiene?
Contiene fipronil, attivo contro pulci adulte e zecche, e piriproxifene, un regolatore della crescita degli insetti che impedisce lo sviluppo delle uova e degli stadi immaturi delle pulci.

Come scelgo il dosaggio corretto?
Per i gatti da 1 a 6 kg si utilizza una pipetta da 0,5 ml. Per i gatti di peso superiore a 6 kg e fino a 12 kg si applica complessivamente 1 ml, utilizzando due pipette da 0,5 ml. Selezionare sempre la variante corretta in base al peso effettivo dell’animale.
Come si applica EFFIPRO DUO?
Separare il pelo nella zona posteriore del collo fino a rendere visibile la cute. Applicare l’intero contenuto della pipetta direttamente sulla pelle, in uno o due punti, evitando di distribuirlo soltanto sul mantello.
Ogni quanto si può ripetere il trattamento?

Quali precauzioni bisogna seguire?
Non utilizzare nei conigli. Non applicare su ferite o cute danneggiata, evitare il contatto con gli occhi e impedire che il gatto o altri animali lecchino il punto di applicazione. Durante gravidanza o allattamento, oppure in presenza di patologie o terapie concomitanti, consultare il medico veterinario.
EFFIPRO DUO è un medicinale veterinario per uso esterno. Leggere attentamente il foglietto illustrativo prima dell’utilizzo. Non utilizzare contemporaneamente ad altri antiparassitari applicati direttamente sull’animale senza indicazione veterinaria. Tenere fuori dalla vista e dalla portata dei bambini.
