What is Radicate spot on?

Radicate spot on is a Topical parasiticide for cats only, for eradication of ecto-parasites. Radicate spot on used to Prevent and controls ticks, Fleas, biting lice and Mange infestations as well as Heartworm disease.

Selamectin is a broad-spectrum avermectin endectocide that is safe for use in cats starting at six weeks of age, including heartworm-infected cats and cats of reproducing age, when administered topically to the skin monthly at the recommended dosage to deliver at least 6mg kg.

Benefits:

• Treatment and prevention of flea infestations caused by Ctenocephalides spp.

• Treatment of biting lice infestations (Trichodectes canis in Dogs and Felicola subrostratus)

How it Works:

Selamectin works by penetrating the skin and entering pet’s bloodstream. Selamectin paralyses and/or kills a wide range of invertebrate parasites through interference with their chloride channel conductance causing disruption of normal neurotransmission. This inhibits the electrical activity of nerve cells in nematodes and muscle cells in arthropods leading to their paralysis and/or death.

In the event of overdose: Contact your veterinarian or veterinary emergency room.
