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 the national competent authority via the
national reporting system. See also section “contact details” of the package leaflet.
When treating infestations of parasites, all in-contact animals should be treated with
an appropriate product at the same time. Fleas from pets often infest the animal's
basket, bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings which
should be treated, in case of massive infestation and at the beginning of the control
measures, with a suitable insecticide and vacuumed regularly.
Bathing and/or shampooing should be avoided. No information on the effect of
bathing or the use of a shampoo on the effectiveness of the product in cats is
available. Based on information available for dogs, bathing/immersion in water within
2 days after application of the product and more frequent bathing than once a week
should be avoided.

i) Special precautions for use in animals
Avoid contact with the animal’s eyes.
It is important to make sure that the product is applied to an area where the animal
cannot lick it off and 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.
The potential toxicity of the product for kittens of less than 8 weeks of age in contact
with a treated queen is not documented. Special care should be taken in this case.
ii) Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals
This product can cause mucous membrane, skin and eye irritation. Therefore,
contact of the product with mouth, skin and eyes should be avoided.
People with a known hypersensitivity (allergy) to fipronil, S-methoprene, or alcohol
should avoid contact with the product. Avoid contents coming into contact with the
fingers. If the product comes into contact with fingers, wash hands with soap and
water.
After accidental eye contact, rinse carefully with clean water.
If the product is accidentally swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show
the package leaflet or the label to the doctor.

sleep with owners, especially children.

immediately.
