Avicas, Febantel 15 mg, Tablet

Unnecessary use of antiparasitics or use deviating from the instructions provided
may increase the resistance selection pressure and lead to reduced efficacy. The
decision to use the product should be based on confirmation of the parasitic species
and burden, or of the risk of infestation based on its epidemiological features, for
each individual animal.
Parasites need to start feeding on the host to become exposed to afoxolaner;
therefore the risk of the transmission of parasite borne diseases cannot be excluded.
When treating infestations of parasites, all in-contact animals should be treated with
an appropriate product at the same time.
All stages of fleas can infest the dog’s bedding and regular resting areas such as
carpets and soft furnishings. In case of massive flea infestation and at the beginning
of the control measures, these areas should be treated with a suitable environmental
product and then vacuumed regularly.
Activity of the product is not affected if treated dogs are exposed to water.

Special precautions for use in animals
In the absence of available data, a veterinary surgeon should be consulted before
