Global Tick Repellent Market - Snapshot

A major standard when selecting an active ingredient for manufacturing of tick repellent products is that it should repel and kill ticks within a certain number of hours and must not be harmful to pet and companion animals such as dogs and cats and also for pet owners. Active ingredient fluralaner is a major chemical ingredient found in chewable tick repellent products such as the “Bravecto” brand of chewable tick repellent tablets manufactured by Merck & Co., Inc. Japan based global chemical company, Nissan Chemical Corporation, invented the active ingredient fluralaner and supplies it to global animal health companies such as Merck & Company, Inc. for manufacturing chewable tick repellent products such as “Bravecto.” Bravecto tablets containing fluralaner are available in 112.5 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg, 1,000 mg, and 1,400 mg. One single dose of Bravecto tablet needs to be administered orally to pets after every 12 weeks. The weight of a companion animal such as a dog or cat determines the amount of fluralaner needed. Fipronil and Methoprene are other major active ingredients used in spot on tick repellent products. They are major active ingredients in the “Frontline Plus” brand of tick repellent products used for companion animals.
