Pyriprole, sold under the brand name Prac-tic, is a veterinary medication used for dogs against external parasites such as fleas and ticks.
Pyriprole is a phenylpyrazole derivative similar to fipronil. Although introduced (in the 2000s) and under patent protection it is a "classic" insecticide. It is only approved in the EU and a few other countries for use on dogs. It is not approved for use on cats or livestock. It has not been introduced as an agricultural or hygiene pesticide.
