Beaphar FIPROtec COMBO Flea & Tick Spot-On for Cats 1 Pipette
About This Treatment
Beaphar FIPROtec COMBO for Cats is a dual-action spot-on veterinary medicine for cats and kittens from 8 weeks of age, weighing at least 1kg. This pack contains 1 pipette; each pipette is formulated specifically for cats.
Fipronil acts against adult fleas, ticks and biting lice. S-methoprene helps break the flea life cycle by preventing exposed flea eggs and larvae from developing, including those associated with the pet’s surroundings.
Adult fleas are killed for up to four weeks, tick killing lasts for up to two weeks, and the formulation prevents the development of flea eggs for up to six weeks. For ongoing combined flea and tick treatment, apply at four-week intervals as directed.

How It Works
- Fipronil kills adult fleas, with action against fleas generally taking effect within 24 hours.
- Kills ticks and biting lice, usually within 48 hours.
- S-methoprene prevents exposed flea eggs and larvae from developing, helping interrupt the flea life cycle.
- Persistent flea-killing activity: up to 4 weeks.
- Persistent tick-killing activity: up to 2 weeks.
- Prevention of flea-egg development: up to 6 weeks.
- A measured, single-use pipette for application directly to the skin between the shoulder blades.
- Fipronil can cause fleas to become more active as it takes effect, so fleas may briefly appear more noticeable after treatment.
How to Apply
- Weigh your cat before treatment and check that this is the correct pack. Read the package leaflet before application.
- Remove one pipette from its sachet. Hold it upright, remove the cap, then turn the cap over and use it to break the seal.
- Part the fur between the cat’s shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Apply the tip to the skin and squeeze several times to empty the pipette completely.
- Apply the full contents directly to the skin, not just onto the fur. Repeat every four weeks when ongoing combined flea and tick control is needed.
- Treat any other pets in the household with a product appropriate to their species and size. Vacuum resting areas and wash pet bedding regularly as part of managing an existing flea infestation.
