Effipro 50 mg Spot-on Solution for Cats

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.
The veterinary medicinal product does not prevent ticks from attaching to the
animals. If the animal has been treated prior to exposure to the ticks, the ticks will be
killed in the first 24-48 hours after attachment. This will usually be prior to
engorgement, minimising but not excluding the risk of transmission of diseases.
Once dead, ticks will often drop off the animal, but any remaining ticks may be
removed with a gentle pull.
No data on the effect of bathing/shampooing on the efficacy of the veterinary
medicinal product in cats are available. However, based on information available for
dogs, shampooing an hour prior to treatment does not affect the efficacy of the
veterinary medicinal product against fleas.
For optimum control of flea problems in a multi-pet household, all dogs and cats in
the household should be treated with a suitable insecticide.
