Fipronil Pyriproxyfen Virbac 100 mg/120 mg Spot-on Solution for Very Large Cats

Wetting of the haircoat with water 2 hours before veterinary medicinal product
application and twice during the claimed period of efficacy against fleas (at two week
intervals against adult fleas or four week intervals against developing flea stages) was
investigated during two laboratory studies. Wetting of the haircoat with water as
described did not adversely affect veterinary medicinal product effectiveness.
The impact of shampooing on veterinary medicinal product effectiveness has not been
investigated. If a cat requires shampooing it is recommended that this is done before
applying the veterinary medicinal product.
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 veterinary medicinal product.
The veterinary medicinal product does not prevent ticks from attaching to animals. If
the animal has been treated prior to exposure to the ticks, the ticks will be killed within
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. Any remaining ticks should be carefully
removed, ensuring that their mouth parts are not left within the skin.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
For external use only. Do not administer orally.
Animals should be weighed accurately prior to treatment.
The safety of the

described under section 3.9. Do not apply the veterinary medicinal product on
wounds or damaged skin. It is important to make sure that the veterinary medicinal
product is applied directly onto an area of dry skin where the animal cannot lick it off
and to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment.
