Exitel 230/20 mg Flavoured Film-coated Tablets for Cats

Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one common type of tapeworm –
Dipylidium caninum. Tapeworm infestation is certain to reoccur unless control
of intermediate hosts such as fleas, mice, etc. is undertaken.
If there is a risk for re-infestation, the advice of a veterinarian should be sought
regarding the need for and the frequency of repeat administration in cats.
Local epidemiological information and the living conditions of the cat should be
taken into account. It is also important to remove sources of possible re-
infestation such as fleas and mice.

i) Special precautions for use in animals
Parasitic resistance to a certain class of anthelmintics can occur after
frequent and repeated use of an anthelmintic from this class.
As the tablets are flavoured, they should be stored in a safe place out of
the reach of animals. Animals in a poor condition or heavily infested,
which can be manifested by symptoms such as diarrhoea, vomiting,
presence of parasites in faeces and vomit, poor hair condition, should be
examined by a veterinarian prior to the product administration. For
severely debilitated or heavily infested cats, use only according to a
benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian
ii) Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the
veterinary medicinal product to animals
In the interests of good hygiene, persons administering the tablets
directly to the cat, or by adding them to the cat’s food, should wash their
hands afterwards.
In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and
show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.

iii) Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Not applicable.
iv) Other precautions
Echinococcosis represents a hazard for humans. As Echinococcosis is
a notifiable disease to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE),
specific guidelines on the treatment and follow-up, and on the safeguard
of persons, need to be obtained from the relevant competent authority.
