Intas Softas Tick & Flea Medicated Shampoo is a medicated shampoo formulated for the management of ectoparasite infestations — ticks, fleas and lice — in dogs and cats. Unlike standard grooming shampoos that focus only on cleaning the coat, Softas contains Propoxur, a carbamate-class insecticide, as its active ectoparasitic ingredient, working directly on the nervous system of ticks, fleas, lice and mites to help control infestation during the bath. It is formulated by Intas Pharmaceuticals for use across dog and cat breeds and coat types, as an over-the-counter option for pet parents dealing with visible signs of tick or flea infestation.

BENEFITS
Propoxur works by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme in parasites, leading to paralysis and death of adult ticks, fleas and lice on contact during the wash. As a carbamate-class insecticide widely used in veterinary medicine, propoxur-based shampoos are generally regarded as a fast-acting option for ectoparasite control in pets. The concentration used in Softas is formulated to target parasites effectively while being intended for safe use on adult dogs and cats when used as directed. As with all ectoparasiticide products, persistent infestations, signs of skin infection, or reactions during use should be assessed by a veterinarian.
