    Here's some info. I found. The active ingredients are clearly the same, but don't know about the concentrations. It may be they are exactly the same just stated in a different way like we use pounds and they use kilograms.

    Product Disclaimer

    Frontline® Plus has been approved for sale in Australia by the APVMA. The US equivalent of this product has been approved for sale by the EPA.

    Both the Australian and US products contain the same active ingredients, Fipronil & (S)-Methoprene.

    However, the products sold by Pet Shed are sold in Australian packaging which has not been approved for sale in the US. As a consequence, the Australian packaging does not have EPA approval and the sale and purchase of products in the Australian packaging may be illegal in the US.
