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.

In the absence of available data, the veterinary medicinal product should not be used
