For dogs over 60 kg the appropriate combination of pipettes should be used.
Method of administration:
Remove the pipette from the overblister. Hold the pipette upright. Tap the narrow part of
the pipette to ensure that the contents are within the main body of the pipette. Break the
snap-off top of the spot-on pipette along the scored line.
Part the pet’s coat on base of the neck before the shoulder blades until the skin is visible.
Place the tip of the pipette directly against the skin and squeeze gently several times to
empty the contents. If necessary the contents of the pipette can be administered at one or
two additional point(s) along the pet’s back to avoid run-off or more superficial application
to the hair coat, particularly in large dogs.
Drop stop system (the product is released only by pressing the body of the pipette).

One pipette provides a single treatment, with the possibility to repeat administrations on a
monthly basis.
For optimal control of flea and tick infestations and flea multiplication, the treatment
schedule can be based on the local epidemiological situation.
Do not use in rabbits, as adverse reactions and even death could occur.

Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the
excipients.
Transient cosmetic effects such as wet appearance or slight scaling may occur at the
application site.
According to the accumulated experience on these active ingredients within spot on
pharmaceutical forms, transient cutaneous reactions at the application site (squamosis,
local alopecia, pruritus, erythema,
may be observed after use. Hypersalivation, reversible neurologic symptoms
(hyperesthesia, depression, nervous symptoms), respiratory signs or vomiting might occur.
These effects occur in very rare cases.
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).

Shampooing or immersion of the animal in water directly after treatment may reduce the
duration of activity. The product remains effective against fleas for 5 weeks when the dog
is shampooed at monthly intervals after treatment. If the dog requires shampooing, it is
better to do so before treatment.
Water immersion repeated on two occasions post treatment did not affect adulticidal
efficacy against fleas nor the efficacy related to the prevention of the development of flea
eggs into adult fleas.
The influence of water immersion or shampooing of the dog on the efficacy of the product
against ticks has not been evaluated.
At the beginning of the control measures, in the case of an infestation, the animal's basket,
bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings should be treated,
with a suitable insecticide and vacuumed regularly.
To reduce environmental flea challenge, all animals living in the same household should
also be treated with a suitable flea control product.
The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to animals. Transmission of infectious
disease by ticks cannot be completely excluded if conditions are unfavourable.
Immediate efficacy has been demonstrated against , indicating that ticks of
this species are likely to be killed within 48 hours of product application. If
reticulatus or ticks are present when the product is applied,
these ticks may not be killed within the first 48 hours.
Once dead, ticks will often drop off the animal. Any remaining ticks should be carefully
removed, ensuring that their mouth parts are not left within the skin.

Special precautions for use in animals
For external use only.
Animals should be weighed accurately prior to treatment.
In absence of safety data, the product should not be used in puppies less than 10 weeks

site by treated or in-contact animals should be avoided.
Do not apply the product on wounds or damaged skin.
In the absence of additional safety studies, do not repeat the treatment at intervals of less
than 4 weeks.
The use of the product has not been studied in sick and debilitated dogs.
