The mechanism of action of fipronil, which is part of the drug, is to block the GABA-dependent receptors of arthropods, impair the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites.

After applying the drug to the skin and hair, fipronil is practically not absorbed into the systemic circulation, accumulates in the wool, epidermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the animal's body and, providing a long-term contact insectoacaricidal and repellent effect, protects the animal from ectoparasites.
