For the treatment and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides spp.) infestations
Rapidly kills fleas within four to eight hours of treatment
Breaks the flea life cycle by killing adult fleas before they can lay eggs - eliminating the risk of further environmental infestation

Persistent flea killing activity and protection for a full month
Treats and controls paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus), brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and bush ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis)
Kills paralysis tick
Persistent tick killing activity and protection for a full month

Treatment Schedule
For optimal treatment and control of fleas and ticks
The product should be administered at regular monthly intervals
Treatment with Simparica may begin at any time of the year
If a flea infestation already exists, fleas can continue to emerge into the environment for weeks to months - because of the continuing development of existing flea eggs, larvae and pupae already present before the time of treatment - it may take more than a single treatment to achieve acceptable flea control
Treatment should continue without interruption all year round - breaks in protection can allow for an environmental flea burden to re-establish
To minimise the likelihood of flea re-infestation, it is important to treat all dogs and cats within the household - Simparica is approved for use in dogs only - check product labels for an appropriate approved flea control for use in cats
For the treatment of ear mites (Otodectes cynotis)
The product should be administered for two consecutive months
Cleansing of the affected ears is recommended to remove the debris associated with ear mites
For the treatment of sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis)
The product should be administered for two consecutive months
For the treatment of demodicosis (Demodex canis) infestations
The product should be administered monthly until the absence of mites is confirmed by two consecutive monthly skin scrapings done by your veterinarian
