Spot-on preparation

Abstract

The invention relates to a spot-on preparation with a parasite-repelling action for topical application to animals. Repellent composition comprises 3-12 wt.% of an active agent component, at least 80 wt.% of a spreading agent component and 0-10 wt.% of a carrier and / or an excipient, where the active agent component contains one or more natural repellents, in which at least 50 wt.% are neem extract and / or decanoic acid, and the spreading agent component contains at least 50 wt.% of 6-12C-fatty acid ester or a mixture of two or more of 6-12C-fatty acid esters.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to repellent compositions for topical application to animals having at least one plant repellent as active substance. Background technique [0002] External parasites such as ticks, fleas, lice, head lice and mites are often found on animals such as dogs, cats, horses, rodents, but also pigeons and snakes. Ectoparasites obtain food from their host animals and are a constant source of stimuli. Additionally, they are vectors of pathogens such as ticks as vectors of Lyme disease and meningitis. Therefore, it is desirable to minimize contact with these parasites. [0003] There are known compositions and methods for controlling and combating these ectoparasites. Among these products are some systemic products, ie those whose active substance penetrates into the blood vessels of the animal and acts as an insecticide as long as the parasite sucks blood. Despite their superior efficacy, systemic insecticides are undesirable w...

Problems solved by technology

These products, especially the combination of neem extract and capric acid show very good anti-flea and tick effects, but it is unsatisfactory in terms of odor and greasyness
