Flea treatment and prevention (cats and dogs)
Following administration of the veterinary medicinal product, the adult fleas on the
animal are killed, no viable eggs are produced, and larvae (found only in the
environment) are also killed. This stops flea reproduction, breaks the flea lifecycle
and may aid in the control of existing environmental flea infestations in areas to
which the animal has access.
For the prevention of flea infestations, the veterinary medicinal product should be
administered at monthly intervals throughout the flea season, starting one month
before fleas become active. Through a reduction in the flea population, monthly
treatment of pregnant and lactating animals will aid prevention of flea infestations in
the litter up to seven weeks of age.
For use as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis the veterinary
medicinal product should be administered at monthly intervals.
Prevention of heartworm disease (cats and dogs)
The veterinary medicinal product may be administered year-round or at least within
one month of the animal’s first exposure to mosquitoes and monthly thereafter until
the end of the mosquito season. The final dose must be given within one month after
the last exposure to mosquitoes. If a dose is missed and a monthly interval between
dosing is exceeded then immediate administration of the veterinary medicinal
product and resumption of monthly dosing will minimise the opportunity for the
development of adult heartworms. When replacing another heartworm preventive
veterinary medicinal product in a heartworm disease prevention programme, the first
dose of the veterinary medicinal product must be given within a month of the last
dose of the former medication.
Treatment of roundworm infections (cats and dogs)
A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered.
Treatment of biting lice (cats and dogs)
A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered.
Treatment of ear mites (dogs)
A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered. Loose
debris should be gently removed from the external ear canal at the time of treatment.
A further veterinary examination 30 days after treatment is recommended as some
animals may require a second treatment.
Treatment of sarcoptic mange (dogs)
For complete elimination of the mites, a single dose of the veterinary medicinal
product should be administered for two consecutive months.
Method of administration:
Remove the product pipette from its protective package.
Hold the pipette upright.
Tap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure the contents remain within the main
body of the pipette. Snap back the tip.
Part the animal’s coat at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades until the
skin is visible.
Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze the pipette several times to
empty its contents completely and directly onto the skin in one spot.
Apply to the skin at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades.
Avoid contact between the product and your fingers.
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the
