Uses of Permethrin

Permethrin is a broad-spectrum ectoparasiticide used to treat pulci, zecche, lice, mites, and mosquitoes in dogs. It is toxic to cats.

It has a repellent effect against ticks and is used in combination with other active ingredients such as Imidacloprid to avoid parasite resistance to a particular insecticide.

Metodo di applicazione

For external application. Combined ingredient products are supplied as topical/spot-on solutions.

Dosaggio e somministrazione

Permethrin is not available as a single ingredient product.

For dosage and administration of combined ingredient products, refer to information on the specific product.

Possibili effetti collaterali

Permethrin is generally well tolerated by dogs but reported side effects include rashes, vomiting, diarrhea, and seizures.

Continued skin exposure to Permethrin may cause local skin irritation, redness, and itching.

As Permethrin is only used in combined ingredient products, side effects may be also caused by other active ingredients.

Precauzioni

As Permethrin is toxic to cats, products containing Permethrin should be used with caution in a household where cats are present. Cats that lick dogs treated with Permethrin products may be at risk of poisoning.

Small dogs have shown greater sensitivity to Permethrin. Please read the directions carefully and consult your veterinarian if you have any questions about dosage.

Segni di tossicità

The most common signs of Permethrin toxicity in dogs are ataxia, hyperreactivity, tremors, paresthesia, lethargy, and incontinence.

Severe poisoning may result in fever, hypothermia, breathing problems and cramps.

Cats may experience profuse drooling, vomiting, tremors, hyperexcitability, agitation, seizures, weakness, and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, these can be fatal.

If you suspect your dog or cat has had an overdose, please contact your veterinarian immediately.
