Flea treatment and prevention
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
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

very rarely.
The alopecia and irritation are normally self-resolving, but symptomatic therapy may
be applicable in some circumstances.
Local temporary clumping of the hair at the application site and/or an occasional
appearance of a small quantity of a white powder has been reported rarely.
This is normal and will disappear typically within 24 hours of treatment administration
and does not affect either the safety or efficacy of the veterinary medicinal product.
If significant licking does occur, a brief period of hypersalivation may rarely be observed
in cats.
As with other macrocyclic lactones, reversible neurological signs, including seizures,
have been very rarely observed after use of the veterinary medicinal product.
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).
Do not apply when the animal’s hair coat is wet. However, shampooing or soaking the
animal 2 or more hours after treatment will not reduce the efficacy of the product.
For ear mite treatment, do not apply directly in the ear canal.
Special precautions for use in animals
This veterinary medicinal product is to be applied to the skin surface only. Do not
administer orally or parenterally.
Keep treated animals away from fires and other sources of ignition for at least 30
minutes or until the hair coat is dry.
It is important to apply the dose as indicated to minimise the quantity that the animal
can lick off. If significant licking does occur, a brief period of hypersalivation may rarely
be observed in cats.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
This product is highly flammable; keep away from heat, sparks, open flames or other
