Revised: August 2025
AN: 00732/2025
For reduction of the risk of infection with Babesia canis canis via transmission by

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 also the last section of the
package leaflet for respective contact details.
Parasites need to start feeding on the host to become exposed to fluralaner;
therefore the risk of the transmission of parasite borne diseases (including Babesia
canis canis and D. caninum) cannot be completely excluded.
Unnecessary use of antiparasitics or use deviating from the instructions given in the
SPC may increase the resistance selection pressure and lead to reduced efficacy.
The decision to use the veterinary medicinal 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.
The possibility that other animals in the same household can be a source of re-
infection with parasites should be considered, and these should be treated as
necessary with an appropriate veterinary medicinal product.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Use with caution in dogs with pre-existing epilepsy.
In the absence of available data, the veterinary medicinal product should not be used
on puppies less than 8 weeks old and /or dogs weighing less than 2 kg.
The veterinary medicinal product should not be administered at intervals shorter than
8 weeks as the safety for shorter intervals has not been tested.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
Keep the veterinary medicinal product in the original packaging until use, in order to
prevent children from getting direct access to the veterinary medicinal product.
Hypersensitivity reactions in humans have been reported.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the veterinary medicinal product.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after use of the veterinary
medicinal product.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Not applicable.
Other precautions:
Not applicable.

Revised: August 2025
AN: 00732/2025
Fluralaner is highly bound to plasma proteins and might compete with other highly
bound active substances such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
and the coumarin derivative warfarin. Incubation of fluralaner in the presence of
carprofen or warfarin in dog plasma at maximum expected plasma concentrations did
not reduce the protein binding of fluralaner, carprofen or warfarin.
During clinical field testing, no interactions between the veterinary medicinal product
and routinely used veterinary medicinal products were observed.
This veterinary medicinal product does not require any special storage conditions.
Not applicable.
