bottle) or 1.5 ml (250 ml bottle) or 3 ml (500 ml bottle) spray per pump.
Posology: In order to dampen the coat down to the skin, depending on the length of
hair, apply 3 to 6 ml per kg bodyweight, (7.5 to 15 mg of active ingredient per kg
bodyweight) i.e. 6 to 12 pump applications per kg bodyweight of the 100 ml
presentation, or 2 to 4 pump applications of the 250 ml, or 1 to 2 pump application(s)
of the 500 ml presentation.
The 100 ml pack contains approximately 8 treatments for a short haired medium
sized cat (4 kg). The 250 ml pack contains approximately 4 treatments for a short
haired medium sized dog (20 kg). The 500 ml pack contains approximately 4
treatments for a short haired large sized dog (40 kg).
Method of administration:
Adjust the pump nozzle to spray setting.
Spray the entire body of the animal, and apply from a distance of approximately 10-
20 cm.
Apply against the lay of the hair and make sure that the entire coat of the animal is
dampened. Ruffle the coat, especially in long haired animals, so that the veterinary
medicinal product penetrates down to the skin.
For treatment of the head region, and when treating young or nervous pets,
application may be carried out by spraying onto a gloved hand and rubbing the
veterinary medicinal product into the coat. Allow to dry naturally. Do not towel dry.
Properties: The formulation contains a coating agent. Therefore, spraying builds up a
film and makes the fur glossy.
In the absence of safety studies, the minimum treatment interval is 4 weeks.
For optimal control of flea and/or tick infestation the treatment schedule should be
based on the local epidemiological situation.
Do not use on sick (systemic diseases, fever) or convalescent animals
Do not use in rabbits, as adverse reactions and even death could occur.
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the
excipients.

Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for
respective contact details.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage.
Allow treated animals to dry in a well ventilated room (see also section 3.5).
Do not confine animals in an enclosed space or pet carrier until the coat is totally dry.
In the absence of specific tolerance and efficacy data, the veterinary medicinal
product is not recommended for the treatment of species other than cats and dogs.
For optimum control of flea problems in a multi-pet household, all dogs and cats in
the household should be treated with a suitable insecticide.
When used as part of a strategy for the treatment of flea allergy dermatitis, monthly
applications to the allergic patient and to other cats and dogs in the household are
recommended.
Fleas from pets often infest the animal’s basket, bedding and regular resting areas,
such as carpets and soft furnishings. These should be treated in cases of massive
infestation and upon the initiation of control measures with a suitable insecticide, and
vacuumed regularly.
The veterinary medicinal product is not suitable for direct treatment of the
environment.
For optimum efficacy, it is not recommended to bathe or shampoo animals in the two
days prior to or following treatment with the veterinary medicinal product. Bathing or
shampooing up to four times in two months has been shown to have no significant
effect on the residual efficacy of the veterinary medicinal product. Monthly treatment
is recommended when more frequent shampooing is carried out.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Avoid contact with the animal’s eyes. In the case of accidental eye contact
immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with water and seek for veterinary medical
advice.
Do not spray directly onto areas of injured skin.
It is important to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment.
There may be an attachment of single ticks. For this reason a transmission of
infectious diseases cannot be completely excluded if conditions are unfavourable.
Keep treated animals away from fires or other sources of heat, and surfaces likely to
be affected by the alcohol spray, for at least 30 minutes following spraying and until
the fur is totally dry. Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material.
Puppies and kittens from 2 days of age may be safely treated.
For external use only.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
This veterinary medicinal product can cause mucous membrane and eye irritation.
Therefore, contact of the veterinary medicinal product with mouth and eyes should be
avoided. After accidental ocular exposure the eye should be rinsed carefully with
plain water.
People with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or alcohol or with asthma
should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product. Do not use veterinary
medicinal product if you have previously experienced a reaction to it.
Avoid contents coming into contact with the fingers. If this occurs, wash hands with
soap and water.
Treated animals should not be handled until the fur is dry, and children should not be
allowed to play with treated animals until the fur is dry. It is therefore recommended
that animals are not treated during the day, but should be treated during the early
AN: 01491/2025 & 01492/2025
evening, and that recently treated animals are not allowed to sleep with owners,
especially children.
Spray animals in the open air or a well ventilated room.
Do not breathe spray. Do not smoke, drink or eat during application.
Personal protective equipment consisting of PVC or nitrile gloves should be worn
when handling the veterinary medicinal product. It is also recommended to wear a
waterproof apron for the protection of clothing. If clothing becomes heavily wetted
with the veterinary medicinal product, it should be removed and washed before re-
use
Dispose of gloves after use and then wash hands with soap and water.
Wash splashes from skin with soap and water immediately. If irritation occurs, seek
medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Treatment of multiple animals: Good ventilation is particularly important where
several animals are to be treated. Treat multiple animals outside, or reduce the build
up of vapour by removing the animals from the treatment room while the alcohol is
evaporating and ensure that the treatment room is well ventilated between individual
treatments. In addition, ensure that the drying room is well ventilated
and avoid housing several recently treated animals within the same air space.

Fipronil may adversely affect aquatic organisms. Dogs should not be allowed to swim in
watercourses for 2 days after application.
