Permethrin Pharma

1% shampoo, 250 ml for dogs
Assessed clinical scopeDog · Full dog label: treatment of flea, louse and tick infestation with a permethrin 1% rinse-off shampoo, repeated once after 2-3 days · On the skin
Care settingClinic or owner bath of an infested dog in a household where cats are kept apart for 72 hours
vetman score 6.3/10 Situational / acceptable
Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 161-11 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A situational dog shampoo: an EU-authorised permethrin product useful for knocking down a current infestation, but it gives little lasting protection and is dangerous for cats in the household.

Regulatory and scientific credibility7.0/10

The product has a current Bulgarian national authorisation with an SPC in the EU Union Product Database and is registered in Georgia (161-11); there is no independent product study.

Clinical efficacy5.5/10

Permethrin is a proven insecticide and acaricide in dogs, but a rinse-off shampoo kills only parasites present at the bath and leaves little residual protection.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Permethrin is well tolerated by dogs, but the SPC states it is extremely toxic and may be fatal to cats, so treated dogs must be kept away from cats for 72 hours.

Clinical practicality6.0/10

Ten to fifteen ml worked into a wet coat for 5-10 minutes, then rinsed and repeated after 2-3 days, is routine but needs two baths.

No verified current Georgian price or patient-adjusted course cost was found; foreign prices were not substituted.
