Arpon 5L
Ectoparasiticide active against flies and lice.
Arpon is an ectoparasiticidal veterinary medicine active against:
- Cattle and horses: Flies (Haematobia irritans, Musca automnalis, Hydrotaea irritans)
- Cattle: Lice (Lignonatus spp, Haemotopinus spp)
Active substance: Cypermethrin.
Cypermethrin is a contact ectoparasiticide substance from the group of type II pyrethroids, which is characterized by having an alpha-cyan group in its molecule.
Group II pyrethroids mainly affect the Na + channels of nerve membranes, causing an increase in the duration of the transient increase in membrane permeability to Na + during the excitation phase. They keep altering the Na + channels persistently, depolarize the membrane and block the action potential, without causing presynaptic activity.
Posology and route of administration:
Applies topically after diluted with water.
-Flies control: spray at the beginning of the fly season and repeat monthly. In case of excessive horn flies and heads, spray every two weeks.
