Broadline is a topical medication that is used to treat and prevent various parasites in cats. It is a prescription medication that should only be used under the guidance of a veterinarian.
Broadline contains several active ingredients, including fipronil, (S)-methoprene, eprinomectin, and praziquantel. These ingredients work together to kill and prevent fleas, ticks, ear mites, roundworms, and hookworms in cats.
When applied to the back of the cat's neck, Broadline is absorbed into the bloodstream and provides protection against these parasites for up to one month. It is important to apply the medication as directed by your veterinarian and to carefully follow the dosage instructions based on the cat's weight.
As with any medication, there may be potential side effects associated with the use of Broadline. These may include irritation or redness at the application site, lethargy, or digestive issues. If you notice any concerning symptoms or changes in your kitten's behavior after applying Broadline, you should contact your veterinarian right away.
