Clinical Description:
Ridd Liquid is a concentrated topical acaricidal and ectoparasiticidal solution containing Amitraz. Amitraz acts mainly on octopamine receptors in susceptible parasites, disrupting their nervous system and resulting in paralysis and death. It is particularly useful against ticks and mites, including mites responsible for demodectic and sarcoptic mange. 

Indications:
Ridd is used for the treatment and control of ticks, fleas, lice and mites. It is also used in veterinary management of demodicosis (demodectic mange) and sarcoptic mange, particularly in dogs. 

Dosage & Administration:
Ridd is a concentrated solution and must be diluted before application according to the current product label or veterinarian's directions. The prepared solution may be applied thoroughly over the affected coat and skin by sponge or spray, ensuring adequate skin contact. One current product listing describes application once weekly and advises preventing licking until the coat is dry. 

Because Amitraz concentration and treatment protocols are safety-critical,

Key Benefits:
Provides broad ectoparasite control against ticks, fleas, lice and mites, is particularly useful in the management of demodectic and sarcoptic mange, and comes as a concentrated formulation that is diluted before topical use.

Extra caution is warranted in very young, debilitated, sick or sensitive animals. Use in cats or other species should only follow specific veterinary/product-label directions.
