What is Biocanina Tetramethrin Shampoo BCN 200 ml used for?
Biocanina Tetramethrin Shampoo BCN 200 ml is recommended for the treatment of flea, louse and tick infestations in dogs and cats. Tetramethrin is a member of the pyrethroid family. It has been selected for its insecticide and acaricide activity. The molecule exerts its action through contact, blocking the transmission of nerve impulses in insects. These effects are attributed to variations in axon membrane permeability to sodium and potassium ions.
One of the major advantages of Biocanina Tetramethrin Shampoo BCN is its ability to eliminate parasites rapidly. Thanks to tetramethrin, an effective insecticide, this shampoo works in record time to kill fleas, ticks and lice that may infest your pet's fur. Parasites are paralyzed and eliminated, providing rapid relief from unpleasant symptoms such as itching and skin irritation.
In addition to its effectiveness in treating current infestations, this anti-parasite shampoo can also be used preventively. By applying it regularly when bathing your pet, you can considerably reduce the risk of future parasite infestations. This prevention is particularly crucial in areas where parasites are common and can cause serious health problems.
Parasite bites can make animals itch intensely and incessantly. This itching can cause great discomfort and disrupt your pet's daily life. By using this anti-parasite shampoo, you can offer your pet welcome relief. By rapidly eliminating the parasites responsible for the bites, the shampoo helps calm itching and reduce skin irritation. Your pet will feel more comfortable and less inclined to scratch, helping to prevent further skin problems.
