Frontline (medicine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about a product for removal of fleas and ticks; for other uses, see Front line (disambiguation).
Frontline is a line of products for the treatment and prevention of fleas and control of ticks on pets - mostly dogs and cats. It is manufactured by Merial - a large animal health company. The following are some of their products:
- Frontline Plus
- Frontline Topspot
- Frontline Spray
It is a liquid that is applied monthly to an animal's back to protect pets from fleas and ticks. Once Frontline is applied, it is absorbed into the animal's skin. The insecticide, Fipronil is then secreted in the animal's hair follicle, and dissolves in the natural skin and hair oils that cover the fur. Frontline is the #1 selling flea and tick medicine for dogs and cats in the world.[1]
