What is Activyl?
Activyl is a monthly spot-on flea treatment that works like no other flea product on the market. Activyl works by using a method called bioactivation, a method in which the active ingredient, indoxacarb is fully activated by using the flea's own enzymes. Activyl can be used for both dogs and cats. It kills not only adult fleas but also flea eggs and larvae, thereby breaking the flea lifecycle.
For dogs only, use Activyl Protector Band to protect against fleas and ticks for up to 6 months.For heartworm protection, try Ivermectin Pyrantel - Generic to Heartgard Plus.
For:
Cats/Kittens and Dogs/Puppies (8+ weeks of age)
Benefits:
- New technology for flea control
- Kills fleas, flea eggs and larvae
- Breaks the flea lifecycle
- Quick-drying and fragrance-free
- Waterproof even after bathing
How does Activyl work?
Activyl works to break the flea lifecycle by killing not only adult fleas, but also flea eggs and larvae, which reduces the chances of your pet becoming reinfested. Activyl is spread through your pet's skin and coat. When a flea lands on your pet, it takes up the active ingredient of Activyl and causes the enzymes in the flea to change. Activyl then reaches its full active form and the flea becomes paralyzed and unable to feed. This process is called bioactivation - the newest technology in flea control. In addition, Activyl is waterproof, quick-drying, and fragrance free.
Cautions:
Do not use Activyl for dogs on cats, or allow your cat to lick or groom a dog treated with Activyl. Do not use on cats or kittens under 2 lbs, or dogs or puppies under 4 lbs, and no kittens or puppies under 8 weeks of age. Certain medications may interact with pesticides. If signs of sensitivity occur, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Hold the applicator in an upright position away from your face and snap the tip by bending it and folding it back on itself.

Reapply Activyl every 30 days.

Individual sensitivities while rare, may occur after using any pesticide product. In cats, accidental ingestion may cause intermittent salivation, licking of the face, shaking of the head, and squinting.
What happens if I miss giving a dose of Activyl?
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and apply the next one as directed. Do not apply a double dose of the medication.
What happens if I overdose my pet on Activyl?
Contact your veterinarian or veterinary emergency room.
What should I avoid while giving Activyl to my pet?
