Fipronil Pyriproxyfen Virbac 50 mg/60 mg Spot-on Solution for Cats

Wetting of the haircoat with water 2 hours before 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 product
effectiveness.
The impact of shampooing on 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 product.
The 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 use in animals:
For external use only. Do not administer orally.
Animals should be weighed accurately prior to treatment.
The safety of the product has not been established in cats younger than 10 weeks of age
or in cats weighing less than 1.0 kg.
Avoid contact with the animal’s eyes. In the case of accidental eye contact, flush the eyes
with water.
Care should be taken to apply the product correctly as described under section 4.9. Do not
apply the 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.
The use of the product has not been studied in sick or debilitated cats. Consult your
veterinary surgeon before using the product if your cat is unwell or currently receiving any
other veterinary treatment.
Inform your veterinary surgeon if you are using this product if s/he provides your cat with
any other medication.
