Effitix Xs Parasite Treatment for Very Small Dogs (1.5–4 kg), pack of 2

What is Effitix XS Pack 2 for very small dogs?

Effitix XS Pack 2 is a two-pack format for dogs weighing between 1.5 and 4 kg. It contains 2 boxes of 4 pipettes, comprising a total of 8 single-dose pipettes of 0.44 ml each.

This veterinary medicine combines fipronil and permethrin. It is applied to the skin to treat fleas or ticks and also provides protection against sand flies or mosquitoes.

What is the Effitix XS pack used for?

It is effective against adult fleas and ticks. Its long-lasting protection against new infestations lasts for 4 weeks. It also provides anti-feeding repellent activity against Phlebotomus perniciosus and the mosquitoes Culex pipiens and Aedes aegypti for 4 weeks.

Repellency reduces contact with these vectors, but does not completely rule out the possibility of a bite or the transmission of infectious agents.

How should Effitix XS be applied?

1. Weigh the dog to confirm that it weighs between 1.5 and 4 kg.

3. Part the fur until the skin is visible.
4. Apply the contents at two points along the back, from the shoulders towards the base of the tail.

Use an XS-sized pipette. The interval between applications should be at least 4 weeks. The specific frequency depends on the risk of exposure and the vet’s judgement.
