Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 27 Mar 2026.
- prevent mortality and reduce infection, clinical signs, kidney colonisation, renal
lesions and urine shedding of Leptospira Canicola;
- reduce infection, clinical signs, kidney colonisation and urine shedding of
Leptospira Icterohaemorrhagiae;
Onset of immunity:
The onset of immunity has been demonstrated from 5 weeks for Canicola
and 2 weeks for Icterohaemorrhagiae.
Duration of immunity:
The duration of immunity lasts for one year after the primary vaccination for all
components.
In the one-year duration of immunity studies there was no significant difference
between vaccinated and control dogs in reduction of kidney colonisation for
Leptospira Canicola and Leptospira Icterohaemorrhagiae, nor in renal lesions and
urine shedding for Leptospira Canicola.
according to the following vaccination schedule:
Primary vaccination course:
- first injection from 8 weeks of age,
- second injection 3 or 4 weeks later.
When active immunisation against CDV, CAV, CPV and CPiV is required, one
dose of the product can be used to reconstitute one dose of Virbac’s freeze-
dried vaccines containing CDV, CAV-2, CPV and CPiV components. After
reconstitution, shake gently (the reconstituted product is slightly pinkish beige)
and administer immediately one dose of 1 ml subcutaneously according to the
same vaccination schedule: 2 injections 3 to 4 weeks apart from 8 weeks of
age.
When active immunisation against rabies is also required, and if Virbac’s rabies
vaccine is available, 1 dose of the product alone or mixed as above can be
mixed with 1 dose of Virbac’s rabies vaccine and 2 ml of mixed vaccines can be
administered immediately subcutaneously. Refer to the Virbac’s rabies vaccine
product information regarding vaccination scheme against rabies.
Annual re-vaccination:
One booster injection of a single dose should be given 1 year after the second
injection and annually thereafter.
Some transient post-vaccinal lethargic states were commonly observed in clinical
studies.
Transient hyperthermia or digestive disturbances such as anorexia, diarrhoea or
vomiting were rarely observed from spontaneous reports.
Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. anaphylaxis, skin manifestations such as
oedema/swelling, erythema, pruritus) have been reported in very rare cases from
spontaneous reports. In case of such an allergic or anaphylactic reaction, appropriate
symptomatic treatment should be administered.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse
reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated
reports).
Special precautions for use in animals:
None.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the
package leaflet or the label to the physician.
mixed and administered with Virbac’s vaccines against canine distemper virus (CDV),
canine adenovirus (CAV), canine parvovirus (CPV), canine parainfluenza virus
(CPiV) and rabies, if available.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with
any other veterinary medicinal product except the products mentioned above. A
decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product
therefore needs to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
