Fleas Don’t Have to be a Nuisance
For the past several months, we’ve had our dogs on Advantix. After many battles with fleas, it feels great to finally locate something that can help stop them. Now I am pleased to find out that there is a generic version of the flea medicine which we’ve become to rely on.
When you read the Advantix web page, it claims that Advantix prevents fleas from biting within 5 minutes. In around 60 minutes it will begin killing fleas. After twelve hours of placing Advantix on your dog, 98% to 100% of adult fleas are deceased. This is why Advantix is usually able to stop the spread of the West Nile virus and Lyme disease. Advantix affects the nervous system of ticks and other insects.
Generic Advantix has the same active ingredients as the brand name version. The first ingredient is imidacloprid which helps wipe out existing ticks and fleas on your dog. The second active ingredient is permethrin which works to repel the same insects. This ingredient helps keep fleas from attaching so they can never bite the dog to begin with. I’ve also read that it functions similarly well on sand flies. Advantix will kill larval fleas in addition to adult fleas. It will likewise take care of lice for approximately 6 weeks. Regrettably permethrin is extremely harmful to cats and therefore Advantix should never be given to them.
Summary
Generic Advantix can be a good substitute for Frontline and is approximately half the price. It offers the same active ingredients as regular Advantix. Since the FDA regulates generic products with testing and compliance just like it does the name brand version, you know you are getting a reputable product. It stops ticks and fleas as well as mosquitoes, sand flies, and lice. With funds getting tight for everyone, generic Advantix could be a great way to scale back on your finances with out sacrificing the protection of a quality flea treatment for your canine.
