Diptron 268 mg Spot-on Solution for Large Dogs

The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to the animals. Therefore, the
transmission of infectious diseases by ticks cannot be excluded. There is no data
available on the effect of bath / shampoo on the efficacy of the veterinary drug in
dogs. Bathing / shampoo applied before or often after treatment may reduce the
effectiveness of the product.
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.
When used as part of a strategy for the treatment of Flea Allergy Dermatitis, monthly
applications to the allergic patient and to other dogs in the household are
recommended.
To reduce re-infestation from emergence of new fleas, it is recommended that all
dogs in a household be treated. Other animals living in the same household should
also be treated with a suitable product.
The product will prevent new tick infestations from day 9 to day 23 after application of
the product. Considering that it takes 9 days to reach sufficient efficacy, there may be
gaps in the prevention of re-infestations after subsequent applications of the product.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
For external use only. Do not apply the product on wounds or damaged skin.
Avoid contact with the animal’s eyes. In case of accidental eye contact immediately
and thoroughly flush the eyes with water.
Animals should be weighed accurately prior to treatment (see section 3.3).
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.
The potential toxicity of the product for puppies less than 8 weeks of age in contact
with a treated bitch is not documented. Special care should be taken in this case.
