Frontline Spot On (Top Spot
offers long-lasting, fast acting flea and tick control. Frontline contains fipronil, a flea adulticide. Fipronil works by
affecting the parasite's (the flea's or tick's) nervous system causing paralysis
and death of the parasite. Fipronil spreads over the pet's body with the body
oils killing 98-100% of the fleas or ticks within 24-48 hours, and controlling
transmission of tick-borne disease, such as Lyme disease.
Fipronil collects in the oils of the skin and hair follicles and then is released
over time (up to 1 month) from the hair follicles onto the skin and hair.
Frontline stays on even with bathing, swimming, or exposure to sunlight. Approved
for use on puppies 8 weeks of age and older.
