Vivaldis Exsite (Cypermethrin) Anti-Tick, Flea & Lice Medicated Shampoo for Dogs (200ml)

Active Ingredient & Mode of Action

• Active Constituent: Cypermethrin

• Pharmacological Class: Synthetic Pyrethroid (Type II Ectoparasiticide)

• Mechanism: Cypermethrin delays the closure of voltage-sensitive sodium channel gates in the nerve membranes of arthropods. This leads to prolonged nerve impulses, repetitive firing, complete muscular exhaustion, paralysis, and swift mortality of ticks, fleas, and lice without harming the canine host.

Directions for Use & Step-by-Step Bathing Guide

1. Prep & Wet: Thoroughly wet your dog's entire coat with lukewarm water from head to paw.

2. Apply & Lather: Dispense an adequate volume of Exsite Shampoo, starting behind the ears down the neck, chest, back, belly, and legs. Work into a dense lather right down to the skin surface.

3. Contact Time (Crucial): Allow the lather to remain on the dog for 5 to 10 minutes before washing off. This contact window ensures the active Cypermethrin fully penetrates and neutralizes parasites.

4. Rinse: Rinse completely with clean running water until all lather and dead parasites are washed away. Towel dry and brush out the coat.

5. Frequency: Use weekly during active infestations, or as recommended by your attending veterinarian.

Safety Warnings & Precautions

• Strictly for Dogs Only: DO NOT USE ON CATS. Felines lack the hepatic glucuronidation pathways needed to safely metabolize pyrethroids like Cypermethrin.

• Age Caution: Do not use on puppies younger than 12 weeks of age or on nursing/lactating bitches unless cleared by a vet.

• Avoid Sensitive Zones: Prevent shampoo from entering the dog's eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth. Protect raw open sores or deep skin lacerations.

• Prevent Ingestion: Do not allow your dog to lick the shampoo lather while bathing.

• Storage: Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children and household pets.
