5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties:

Pyrethrins/Piperonyl Butoxide

The plant Pyrethrum is a chrysanthemate; the powdered, dried flower heads contain active principles mainly in the form of pyrethrins. Pyrethrins have insecticidal activity producing both knock-down and mortality in a range of insects, and low mammalian toxicity. Common names: Dalmatian insect powder and Persian insect powder.

Piperonyl butoxide acts as a synergist when combined with pyrethrin and prolongs its action.
