An animal health pharmaceutical business, Virbac introduces to the Philippines, a topical medication that treats and prevents flea and tick infestations of dogs. What’s fantastic about this new product is that it also functions as a mosquito repellent, which prevents mosquitoes from spreading heartworms.
Effitix, which contains the active chemicals fipronil and permethrin, is a spot-on treatment that works well and protects your dog from parasitic infections for up to four weeks. After treatment, fleas and ticks can be cleared within 24 hours. Since it continues to work after bathing, shampooing, submersion in water, or exposure to sun, one treatment effectively prevents future infestations for four weeks.
The product can be used as a part of a treatment plan to manage flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), which lessens the risk of spreading tick-borne illnesses like canine ehrlichiosis and babesiosis and serves as a deterrent or preventative measure against mosquitoes like Culex pipiens and Aedes aegypti. Additionally, this topical solution has a special “drop-stop” pipette technology for quick, hassle-free application that enables you to administer the medication exactly where it needs to be on your pets.
Effitix is available for both puppies and dogs from eight weeks old or older in 3 dose sizes for dogs between 4 to 40 kilograms. You may rest easy at night knowing that your pet dogs are secure and guarded from the risks posed by external parasites thanks to Effitix.
Starting on December 16, 2022, authorized online pet stores will offer Virbac Effitix, and in February 2023, leading physical pet stores and veterinary offices will also carry Effitix.
