Ectotix 67 mg/600 mg Spot-on Solution for Small Dogs

The veterinary medicinal product remains effective after exposure to sunlight or if the
animal becomes wet after rain.
Avoid frequent swimming or shampooing of treated dogs as this may adversely affect
maintenance of product effectiveness.
A dog with fleas may show an allergic reaction to the flea saliva called Flea Allergy Dermatitis
(FAD). If your dog has inflamed skin, is itchy and bites, scratches excessively and is restless
and uncomfortable, you should seek the advice of a veterinarian to diagnose if your dog
suffers from FAD.
To reduce re-infestation from emergence of new fleas, it is recommended to treat all dogs
in a household. Other animals living in the same household should also be treated with a
suitable 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.
There may be an attachment of single ticks or bites by single sand flies or mosquitoes. For
this reason, the transmission of infectious diseases by these parasites cannot be excluded
if conditions are unfavourable.
Studies have shown anti-feeding effect of four weeks for sand flies and mosquitoes.
Therefore, for short-term travel (less than 4 weeks) to endemic areas it is recommended to
apply the treatment immediately before expected exposure. For longer-term exposure (e.g.
animals living in endemic areas or travel duration longer than 4 weeks), the treatment
schedule should be based on local epidemiological information.

i) Special precautions for use in animals
Animals should be weighed accurately prior to treatment.
The safety of the product has not been established in dogs younger than 12 weeks of age
or in dogs weighing less than 1.5 kg.
Care should be taken to avoid the content of the pipette coming into contact with the eyes
or mouth of the recipient dogs. In particular oral uptake due to the licking of the application
site by treated or in-contact animals should be avoided.
This product is extremely poisonous to cats and could be fatal due to the unique
physiology of cats which is unable to metabolise certain compounds including permethrin.
In case of accidental dermal exposure, wash the cat with shampoo or soap, and seek
veterinary advice rapidly.
