Advantix

40 mg + 200 mg, imidacloprid 40 mg + permethrin 200 mg, spot-on solution for dogs up to 4 kg
Assessed clinical scopeDog · Full labelled canine ectoparasite scope: treatment and prevention of flea, tick and biting-louse infestations plus repellent activity against specified ticks, sand flies, mosquitoes and stable flies · On the skin
Care settingVeterinary-selected outpatient ectoparasite control based on local epidemiology and household species
vetman score 8.0/10 Very good
Evidence confidence: High Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 314-11 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A broad and well-supported dog-only ectoparasite option with valuable repellency; household cat safety and exact weight-band application are non-negotiable.

Regulatory and scientific credibility9.0/10

The five exact strengths have current official SPC coverage and active Georgian veterinary registrations with exact authorisation numbers; independent field evidence is available.

Clinical efficacy8.5/10

The combination provides strong flea and tick control plus clinically useful repellent activity against multiple vectors, supported by field studies; duration and performance vary by parasite species, exposure and wetting.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Canine tolerability is generally good, but permethrin exposure can be fatal to cats; transient skin, behavioural, gastrointestinal and rare neurologic reactions are recognised, and the product is highly hazardous to aquatic organisms.

Clinical practicality8.0/10

A weight-banded pipette gives roughly monthly protection, but correct multi-spot skin application, drying, temporary separation from cats, bathing constraints and epidemiology-based retreatment require more technique than a simple oral dose.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

Price was not assessed and is excluded from the overall score.

Important safety and use flags

  • Never use on cats: permethrin is extremely poisonous and exposure can be fatal. Keep treated dogs away from cats until the application site is dry and seek veterinary help immediately after accidental feline exposure.
  • Do not allow treated dogs into surface water for 48 hours; the product is highly toxic to aquatic organisms.
  • Use the exact pipette for the dog's weight band and apply directly to intact skin at the labelled number of sites; do not use below the presentation's minimum weight or under seven weeks of age.
  • Choose retreatment by local epidemiology and lifestyle; frequent shampooing or water exposure may reduce persistence, and treated animals should not groom one another before drying.
