FRONTLINE Plus for Cats Flea And Tick Treatment

FRONTLINE® Plus For Cats contains fipronil and the insect growth regulator (IGR) (S)-methoprene. Insect growth regulators interrupt or inhibit the life cycle of a pest. Flea eggs and flea larvae that are exposed to (IGR) (S)-methoprene will never develop into the adult jumping, biting and (most important) reproducing fleas. FRONTLINE® Plus effectively targets all stages of fleas. Fipronil collects in the oils of the skin and hair follicles, and continues to be released from hair follicles onto the skin and coat, resulting in long-lasting activity against fleas and ticks.

FRONTLINE® is waterproof, since the active ingredient in FRONTLINE® products is stored in the oil glands in the skin, from which it is continuously released onto cats' fur, FRONTLINE® remains truly waterproof for 30 days or longer. FRONTLINE® is so gentle it is approved for use on kittens 8 weeks or older. It is also approved for breeding, pregnant and lactating cats. For best flea and tick control, apply FRONTLINE® Plus monthly throughout the year. FRONTLINE ® does not expire if it remains unopened and is stored properly according to the package instructions.

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not allow children to apply product. To prevent harm to you and your pet, read entire label and directions before each use. Follow all directions and precautionary statements carefully. Use on cats only. Do not use on rabbits.

To kill fleas and all stages of brown dog ticks, American dog ticks, lone star ticks, and deer ticks (which may carry Lyme disease), apply to cats or kittens (8 weeks or older) as follows:

1. Remove applicator from child-resistant package.
2. Hold applicator upright and snap applicator tip away from face and body.
3. Place applicator tip through animal's hair to the skin level between the shoulder blades.
4. Squeeze applicator, applying entire contents in a single spot to the animal's skin. Avoid superficial application to the animal's hair. Only one applicator per treatment is needed.

FREQUENCY OF APPLICATION
When used monthly, FRONTLINE® Plus for Cats completely breaks the flea life cycle and controls tick infestations. Research demonstrates that FRONTLINE® Plus kills adult fleas, flea eggs, and flea larvae for up to three months. FRONTLINE® Plus also prevents development of all flea stages for up to three months. FRONTLINE® Plus kills ticks for at least one month. A once monthly application is recommended where tick control is needed. Although FRONTLINE® Plus can control fleas for up to three months, if there is a high risk of reinfestation or if the pet has fleas which may cause flea allergy dermatitis, a once monthly application may be needed.

FRONTLINE® Plus for Cats remains effective even after bathing, water immersion, or exposure to sunlight. Avoid contact with treated area until dry. Do not reapply FRONTLINE® Plus for 30 days.
