I'm glad you brought this info to my attention Kelly. I once attempted to nail all the ingredients on the label .Comparing each product ingredient label to each other. It appeared all the ingredients were the same except 2-3 if I remember right maybe less plus basically just a couple formula differences. I'm absolutely not educated as a Chemist and I'm totally clueless as to what I'm looking at when chemicals like in "RiD" Lice treatment everything is the same on both like methyl+_cis/trans3-(2,2dichloroethenyl)2,2dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate
Cis/trans ratio: min 35% +_ cis and max 65% +- trans
What is different is the cis/trans ratio RID being minimum 35%cis and P-A-M being max 40% cis but the trans are the same at 65%max but minimum is P-A-M min(60%) RID min unlisted. So the same chemicals appear to be in similar proportions etc.. Although Equate reads slightly different if remember don't have can and Generic forms often have no label for inactive ingredients. Although now I see on the back of the Generic can the petroleum distillate is listed. Not so with "RID" no petroleum distillate listed yet I'm certain it uses that process. You can feel that oily consistency on your hand when washing it off.
So my point is I no nothing of what those chemicals listed mean or what they are,LOL. Pretty much the same on each can plus active ingredients are always the same permethrin 0.50% .
What I'm really curious about is how inactive ingredients can actually affect Reptile etc ?... This is something I've always been concerned and curious about ? Just because its listed as inactive doesn't mean it may not be harmful yes or no ?
Thanks Kelly always enjoy your input and also you Joley.
