Advantage Multi

40 mg/4 mg, imidacloprid 40 mg + moxidectin 4 mg, spot-on solution for cats up to 4 kg
Assessed clinical scopeCat · Full labelled species-specific scope for susceptible flea, mite, louse, gastrointestinal or cardiopulmonary nematode targets, including applicable heartworm prevention · On the skin
Care settingMonthly or indication-specific single-pipette spot-on treatment after exact species, weight, parasite, heartworm and macrocyclic-lactone risk assessment
vetman score 8.5/10 Very good
Evidence confidence: High Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 348-11 · Verified on 15 Oct 2026

A mature, broadly effective topical endectocide supported by FDA and the equivalent EU Advocate dossier; use the exact Georgian kilogram presentation rather than importing US pound-band assumptions.

Regulatory and scientific credibility9.0/10

The exact presentation is registered in Georgia and FDA-authorised under the same brand; its Georgian kilogram bands correspond to the EU Advocate line rather than the differently bounded US pound bands, which must not be interchanged.

Clinical efficacy9.0/10

A mature regulatory dossier and controlled laboratory and field programmes support the combination across its broad species-specific flea, mite, nematode and heartworm roles; exact target and repeat schedule remain indication-dependent.

Safety and tolerability7.5/10

The safety profile is extensively characterised, but the concentrated canine formulation can seriously harm cats; young, underweight, sick or debilitated patients, heartworm-positive animals, oral exposure, MDR1-sensitive dogs and concurrent macrocyclic lactones require strict precautions.

Clinical practicality8.5/10

A premeasured monthly pipette is practical and covers several parasite groups, but exact species/concentration selection, direct skin application, drying, licking prevention and indication-specific retreatment intervals are essential.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

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

Important safety and use flags

  • Use only the exact species, concentration and weight-band pipette. The canine 2.5% moxidectin formulation must never be used on cats, and EU/Georgian kilogram bands must not be replaced with US pound-band assumptions.
  • Do not combine with another antiparasitic macrocyclic lactone unless the exact label and a documented veterinarian-led benefit-risk decision support it.
  • Apply the complete pipette directly to exposed skin, prevent oral exposure and licking, keep animals apart until dry, and follow the indication-specific bathing and repeat-treatment interval.
  • Do not use below nine weeks of age. A cat below 1 kg, or a sick, debilitated or underweight cat, requires the strictest applicable label and a veterinarian-led benefit-risk decision.
  • Establish heartworm status and exact indication before use: applicable EU and FDA labels differ on heartworm-positive cats, and adult infection may carry severe risk.

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.

250 mg + 1250 mg, imidacloprid 250 mg + permethrin 1250 mg, spot-on solution for dogs 10-25 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 · № 315-11 · 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.

vetman score 8.6/10 Very good
Evidence confidence: High Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 20-11 · Verified on 15 Oct 2026

A mature, broadly effective topical endectocide with strong regulatory and clinical support; its wide label does not remove the need for exact species, concentration and heartworm-risk selection.

Regulatory and scientific credibility9.5/10

The exact presentation is registered in Georgia and belongs to the mature centrally authorised EU Advocate line, with matching current UK and FDA counterpart documentation.

Clinical efficacy9.0/10

A mature regulatory dossier and controlled laboratory and field programmes support the combination across its broad species-specific flea, mite, nematode and heartworm roles; exact target and repeat schedule remain indication-dependent.

Safety and tolerability7.5/10

The safety profile is extensively characterised, but the concentrated canine formulation can seriously harm cats; young, underweight, sick or debilitated patients, heartworm-positive animals, oral exposure, MDR1-sensitive dogs and concurrent macrocyclic lactones require strict precautions.

Clinical practicality8.5/10

A premeasured monthly pipette is practical and covers several parasite groups, but exact species/concentration selection, direct skin application, drying, licking prevention and indication-specific retreatment intervals are essential.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

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

Important safety and use flags

  • Use only the exact species, concentration and weight-band pipette. The canine 2.5% moxidectin formulation must never be used on cats, and EU/Georgian kilogram bands must not be replaced with US pound-band assumptions.
  • Do not combine with another antiparasitic macrocyclic lactone unless the exact label and a documented veterinarian-led benefit-risk decision support it.
  • Apply the complete pipette directly to exposed skin, prevent oral exposure and licking, keep animals apart until dry, and follow the indication-specific bathing and repeat-treatment interval.
  • Do not use below nine weeks of age. A cat below 1 kg, or a sick, debilitated or underweight cat, requires the strictest applicable label and a veterinarian-led benefit-risk decision.
  • Establish heartworm status and exact indication before use: applicable EU and FDA labels differ on heartworm-positive cats, and adult infection may carry severe risk.

vetman score 8.4/10 Very good
Evidence confidence: High Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 174-11 · Verified on 15 Oct 2026

A well-documented broad canine ectoparasiticide with exact-product flea and tick studies plus useful vector repellency. Choose it for the combined clinical role, respect the delayed or incomplete protection against some vectors, and treat feline exposure prevention as mandatory.

Regulatory and scientific credibility9.0/10

All four exact presentations are registered in Georgia and covered by current regulator-hosted product literature, valid multinational authorisations and a transparent exact-product hybrid dossier with dose-confirmation studies.

Clinical efficacy8.5/10

Exact-product GCP studies support four-week flea activity and persistent efficacy against the labelled ticks, while applicable controlled and field studies support the imidacloprid-permethrin vector role. Immediate tick efficacy was not demonstrated, duration varies by target and bites or transmission are not completely prevented.

Safety and tolerability7.5/10

Healthy dogs tolerated the label dose and even five-fold overdose well in the dossier, with very rare canine reactions. The clinically important limits are potentially fatal feline permethrin exposure, reproductive uncertainty linked to N-methylpyrrolidone and aquatic toxicity.

Clinical practicality8.5/10

A single-site weight-band pipette provides roughly monthly control and is straightforward, but drying, cat separation, bathing timing, vector-onset limitations and seasonal repeat treatment still require planning.

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 exposure is extremely poisonous and can be fatal; keep treated dogs away until the site is dry and seek veterinary advice immediately if a cat contacts or grooms it.
  • Do not use below seven weeks of age, outside the exact presentation weight band or in known hypersensitivity. Weigh accurately and apply only to intact skin.
  • Single ticks or vector bites may still occur and pathogen transmission cannot be excluded. Mosquito repellency begins at day 7; keep dogs protected during the first 24 hours after the initial application for the Leishmania-risk claim.
  • Ticks already present may remain attached and alive for two days; remove them manually. Exact-product studies did not demonstrate immediate tick efficacy.
  • Very rare reactions include local pruritus, erythema, oedema or hair loss, behavioural or gastrointestinal signs and neurologic signs. Prevent licking; oral exposure may cause vomiting, tremor or incoordination.
  • Safety in pregnancy, lactation and breeding animals is not established, and N-methylpyrrolidone was foetotoxic in laboratory species; use only after veterinary benefit-risk assessment and consult before use in sick or debilitated dogs.
  • Keep treated dogs out of surface water for 48 hours. Frequent or prolonged water exposure may reduce persistence, shampoo should be used before treatment or at least two weeks later, and post-wetting tick efficacy is unstudied.
  • No medicinal interactions or major incompatibilities are known in the current product literature.

vetman score 8.4/10 Very good
Evidence confidence: High Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 157-11 · Verified on 15 Oct 2026

A well-documented broad canine ectoparasiticide with exact-product flea and tick studies plus useful vector repellency. Choose it for the combined clinical role, respect the delayed or incomplete protection against some vectors, and treat feline exposure prevention as mandatory.

Regulatory and scientific credibility9.0/10

All four exact presentations are registered in Georgia and covered by current regulator-hosted product literature, valid multinational authorisations and a transparent exact-product hybrid dossier with dose-confirmation studies.

Clinical efficacy8.5/10

Exact-product GCP studies support four-week flea activity and persistent efficacy against the labelled ticks, while applicable controlled and field studies support the imidacloprid-permethrin vector role. Immediate tick efficacy was not demonstrated, duration varies by target and bites or transmission are not completely prevented.

Safety and tolerability7.5/10

Healthy dogs tolerated the label dose and even five-fold overdose well in the dossier, with very rare canine reactions. The clinically important limits are potentially fatal feline permethrin exposure, reproductive uncertainty linked to N-methylpyrrolidone and aquatic toxicity.

Clinical practicality8.5/10

A single-site weight-band pipette provides roughly monthly control and is straightforward, but drying, cat separation, bathing timing, vector-onset limitations and seasonal repeat treatment still require planning.

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

Important safety and use flags

  • Never use on cats. Permethrin exposure is extremely poisonous and can be fatal; keep treated dogs away until the site is dry and seek veterinary advice immediately if a cat contacts or grooms it.
  • Do not use below seven weeks of age, outside the exact presentation weight band or in known hypersensitivity. Weigh accurately and apply only to intact skin.
  • Single ticks or vector bites may still occur and pathogen transmission cannot be excluded. Mosquito repellency begins at day 7; keep dogs protected during the first 24 hours after the initial application for the Leishmania-risk claim.
  • Ticks already present may remain attached and alive for two days; remove them manually. Exact-product studies did not demonstrate immediate tick efficacy.
  • Very rare reactions include local pruritus, erythema, oedema or hair loss, behavioural or gastrointestinal signs and neurologic signs. Prevent licking; oral exposure may cause vomiting, tremor or incoordination.
  • Safety in pregnancy, lactation and breeding animals is not established, and N-methylpyrrolidone was foetotoxic in laboratory species; use only after veterinary benefit-risk assessment and consult before use in sick or debilitated dogs.
  • Keep treated dogs out of surface water for 48 hours. Frequent or prolonged water exposure may reduce persistence, shampoo should be used before treatment or at least two weeks later, and post-wetting tick efficacy is unstudied.
  • No medicinal interactions or major incompatibilities are known in the current product literature.

vetman score 8.4/10 Very good
Evidence confidence: High Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 157-11 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A highly effective and unusually convenient long-duration canine ectoparasite option with strong direct evidence. Its score is moderated by collar-mechanics risk and pharmacovigilance signals that require correct fitting, monitoring and prompt removal if symptoms occur.

Regulatory and scientific credibility9.0/10

The exact collars are currently registered in Georgia and retain current UK VMD product information, long regulatory histories and substantial product-specific clinical and pharmacovigilance evidence.

Clinical efficacy9.0/10

Large controlled and multicentre field programmes show sustained high flea and tick efficacy over 7-8 months, repellent tick activity and species-specific ancillary benefits; protection is not absolute and may begin more slowly against an established tick burden.

Safety and tolerability7.0/10

Field trials found mainly minor local reactions, but current labels and the EPA incident review require active monitoring for skin, gastrointestinal or neurologic signs and immediate collar removal if adverse effects occur. Mechanical entrapment, choking or trauma is a distinct collar risk; pregnancy/lactation use is not recommended.

Clinical practicality9.0/10

One correctly fitted, water-resistant collar provides continuous long-duration protection with no monthly redosing, but fit, skin and release function must be checked, especially in growing or outdoor animals.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

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

Important safety and use flags

  • Fit to allow two fingers beneath the collar and check frequently. Remove immediately if the collar catches, breathing or swallowing is affected, or any adverse reaction occurs; verify that the release mechanism is free to function.
  • During the first days, monitor for pruritus, erythema, hair loss or other local reaction; also watch for gastrointestinal or neurologic signs. Remove the collar and seek veterinary advice if clinically relevant signs occur.
  • Use the exact collar for species and weight: the 70 cm collar is only for dogs over 8 kg; the 38 cm collar is for cats or dogs up to 8 kg. Do not treat puppies under 7 weeks or kittens under 10 weeks.
  • Use during pregnancy or lactation is not recommended. Do not use in known hypersensitivity to either active substance or an excipient.
  • The collar reduces tick attachment and selected pathogen transmission but does not provide absolute protection; attached ticks may still be found and disease cannot be completely excluded.
  • Prevent chewing or ingestion of the collar, wash hands after fitting and keep the pouch, remnants and collar away from children and watercourses.
