What does Frontline Plus for Cats and Kittens do?
FRONTLINE® Plus for Cats contains fipronil and the insect growth regulator (IGR) (S)-methoprene. Fipronil kills fleas by affecting their nervous system, making them hyperactive before dying. These dying fleas often rise to the top of the cat’s hair coat as they are dying. The (S)-methoprene prevents all flea stages (eggs, larvae, pupae) from developing.
