Manufacturer: Mavlab Pty Ltd Registered Name Fido's Fre-Itch Rinse Concentrate for Dogs, Cats, Puppies, Kittens and Cage Birds Composition Pyrethrins 10 g/L, piperonyl butoxide 18 g/L, N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide (MGK 264) 30 g/L. Description A low odour, water based formulation suitable for use in a rinse, hydrobath, dip or spray. Contains no alcohol or petroleum solvents. Actions In insects the natural pyrethrins, which have no anticholinesterase activity, cause slow closure of the sodium channel activation gate resulting in hyperexcitation followed by convulsions and death. They are synergised by piperonyl butoxide, which has a minor repellent action in its own right. N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide (MGK 264) is an insecticide synergist with repellant properties. Indications Fleas (Ctenocephalides sp.) and lice (Trichodectes canis, Heterodoxus sp.), ticks including paralysis tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Ixodes holocyclus); prevents attachment for up to three days on dogs and cats. Controls lice on ornamental cage birds and rodents. Warnings In paralysis tick areas, inspect dogs and cats daily. Precautions Do not contaminate food and water containers. Poisonous to fish and crustaceans; do not contaminate ponds, streams and aquaria. Safety directions Wash hands after use. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and avoid inhaling spray mist.
