Fipronil is an insecticide and acaricide belonging to the family of phenylpyrazoles. It acts by inhibiting the GABA complex, binding to the chlorine channel and thus blocking the pre- and post-synaptic transfer of chlorine ions through the cell membranes. This results in uncontrolled activity of the central nervous system and the death of insects and mites.

Fipronil presents insecticidal and acaricidal activity against fleas (Ctenocephalides spp) and ticks (Rhipicephalus spp, Dermacentor spp, Ixodes spp including Ixodes ricinus) in cats.

Fleas will be killed within 24 hours. Ticks will be killed 48 hours after contact with fipronil, however if Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks are present when the veterinary medicine is applied, they may not all be killed within 48 hours, but they can be killed within a week.
