TIXFREE Fipronil 10% (w/v) SA – Flea and Tick Protection for Adult Cats
Protect your adult cat from fleas and ticks with TIXFREE Fipronil 10% (w/v) SA, a topical spot-on treatment designed specifically for cats. This product contains Fipronil, a well-known insecticide and acaricide, to effectively kill fleas and ticks while providing long-lasting protection. Manufactured by Acoricide, TIXFREE is a reliable choice for cat owners seeking to keep their feline companions free from parasites.
How TIXFREE Works
TIXFREE contains Fipronil at a concentration of 10% (w/v), a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide that targets the nervous system of fleas and ticks. When applied to your cat’s skin, Fipronil spreads across the body through the natural oils in the skin and hair follicles, creating a protective barrier. It works by:
-
Killing Fleas: Kills adult fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis) within 24 hours of application, preventing them from laying eggs and breaking the flea life cycle.
-
Killing Ticks: Kills ticks (including Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus) within 48 hours, reducing the risk of tick-borne diseases.
-
Long-Lasting Protection: Provides up to 4 weeks of protection against fleas and ticks, depending on environmental conditions and parasite pressure.
TIXFREE can also help control flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) in cats by eliminating fleas, which are a common cause of this condition.

Dosage and Administration
TIXFREE Fipronil 10% (w/v) SA is designed for adult cats. The pack contains a single-dose applicator, with the following application guidelines:
-
1 pipette per cat per month.
Application Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pipette: Remove the pipette from the packaging and hold it upright. Snap off the tip or cut it along the scored line, depending on the packaging design.
-
Part the Fur: Choose a spot on your cat’s neck, at the base of the skull, where they cannot lick the product. Part the fur to expose the skin.
-
Apply the Product: Place the tip of the pipette directly on the skin and squeeze gently to empty the entire contents in one spot. Avoid applying to the fur, as it needs to contact the skin to be effective.
-
Post-Application Care: Avoid touching the treated area until it is dry (about 24–48 hours). Keep your cat away from open flames or heat sources immediately after application, as the product is flammable until dry (as indicated by the flame symbol on the packaging).
-
Frequency: Reapply every 4 weeks for continuous protection, especially in areas with high flea or tick populations. Monitor for signs of re-infestation and adjust frequency if needed.
Note: Do not bathe your cat or allow them to swim for 48 hours after application to ensure the product spreads properly. If your cat is already infested, you may need to treat their environment (e.g., bedding, carpets) to fully eliminate fleas.
