Composition

Each gram contains:

Propoxur – as active ingredient

The supplied source does not provide a quantitative percentage or mg-per-gram strength for Propoxur, so no additional concentration has been assumed.

Indications / Uses

Mankind Extick Advance Spray is intended for topical control of external parasites affecting dogs and cats. The supplied product information lists the following indications:

• Tick control

• Flea control

• Lice control

• Management of active external parasite infestations

• Topical treatment of parasites present on the hair coat and skin surface

The source specifically describes activity against ticks, fleas, and both sucking and biting lice.

How Extick Advance Works

Extick Advance uses Propoxur, which belongs to the carbamate class of ectoparasiticides. The supplied source explains that Propoxur inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme involved in regulating acetylcholine at nerve-muscle junctions in susceptible parasites.

When this enzyme is inhibited, acetylcholine accumulates and causes sustained neuromuscular stimulation. This interferes with normal parasite movement and nervous-system function, ultimately resulting in parasite death. The action is described as a contact effect, meaning the parasite needs to come into contact with the active ingredient on the treated coat or skin.

Aerosol Application Format

The Extick Advance aerosol produces a fine mist that can be spread across a comparatively broad area of the coat. When used appropriately, the fine spray can reach between individual hairs and increase contact with the coat and skin surface.

For thick or dense coats, the supplied instructions recommend using a thick comb or brush against the direction of hair growth while spraying. This helps open the coat so the topical preparation can reach closer to the skin rather than remaining only on the outer layer of hair.

Directions for Use

Extick Advance should be applied carefully and only as directed for external veterinary use.

1. Use the product outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

2. Hold the aerosol approximately 15–20 cm away from the pet's body.

3. Spray the affected areas of the coat and body.

4. For dense coats, use a thick comb or brush against the direction of hair growth while applying the spray.

5. Pay attention to areas such as the feet, legs, tail, neck, back, and belly.

6. Do not spray directly onto the pet's face, eyes, ears, or mouth.

7. For the head or ear area, spray onto a gloved hand or suitable cloth and apply carefully.

8. Prevent the pet from licking treated areas for at least 20 minutes or until the product has dried.

9. For severe infestations, the supplied information states that treatment may be repeated twice weekly.

10. For routine preventive use, the source states an application interval of approximately every 2–4 weeks or as directed by a veterinarian.

Areas Requiring Particular Attention

During application, additional attention can be given to areas where ticks may commonly remain after outdoor exposure, including:

• Feet and between the toes

• Legs

• Underbelly

• Neck

• Base of the tail

• Around the ears

The supplied source recommends prioritising the feet, legs, and tail during application because these areas can come into contact with vegetation and outdoor surfaces.

Safety Information

Mankind Extick Advance is intended for external use on dogs and cats only. The following precautions are important:

• Do not use internally.

• Do not use on puppies below 4 weeks of age.

• Do not apply to open wounds, cuts, or significantly damaged skin.

• Do not spray directly into the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or face.

• Prevent the pet from licking the treated coat before it has dried.

• Avoid inhaling the aerosol mist.

• Use outdoors or in a properly ventilated environment.

• Wear gloves during application and wash hands thoroughly afterward.

• Keep children away from the treated animal until the coat is completely dry.

• Do not combine with other carbamate or organophosphate-based products unless specifically advised by a veterinarian.

• The supplied source specifically advises against use on diabetic dogs.

• Do not use the product near flames, sparks, or other ignition sources.

• Do not puncture, burn, or incinerate the aerosol container.

• Do not expose the can to temperatures above 50°C.

Possible Side Effects

When used correctly, the supplied information describes Extick Advance as generally well tolerated. However, some sensitive animals may develop mild redness or irritation at the application site.

If irritation persists, further application should be stopped and veterinary advice obtained. Accidental ingestion or excessive licking may result in signs such as salivation or nausea; significant exposure accompanied by drooling, tremors, breathing difficulty, or other concerning signs requires prompt veterinary attention.

Missed Application

If a scheduled application is missed, the supplied source advises applying the product when remembered and then continuing the treatment schedule from that date. Do not apply an excessive or double quantity to compensate for a missed application.

Storage

Store Extick Advance:

• Below 30°C

• In a cool, dry location

• Away from direct sunlight

• Away from heat sources

• Away from sparks and open flames

• Out of reach of children and animals

• In a safe location where the aerosol can will not be punctured or damaged

Because this is a pressurised aerosol product, do not puncture, burn, or expose the container to excessive heat.

Important Veterinary Note

Tick, flea, and lice infestations can sometimes occur alongside skin disease, allergic reactions, anaemia, or vector-borne infections. Extick Advance is intended for external parasite control and should not be considered a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment of diseases transmitted by parasites.

For pets with heavy infestations, recurrent parasite problems, very young animals, pregnancy, underlying disease, or concurrent medication, the appropriate treatment schedule should be confirmed with a veterinarian.
