Fiprotec Spray 2.5 mg/ml Cutaneous Spray, Solution for Cats and Dogs

For optimum efficacy, it is not recommended to bathe or shampoo animals within the
two-day period prior to treatment or within the two-day period following treatment.
Bathing or shampooing up to four times in two months has been shown to have no
significant effect on the residual efficacy of the veterinary medicinal product. Monthly
treatment is recommended when more frequent shampooing is carried out.
The possibility that other animals in the same household can be a source of re-
infection with fleas, ticks and biting lice should be considered, and these should be
treated as necessary with an appropriate product.
Fleas from pets often infest the animal’s basket, bedding and regular resting areas,
such as carpets and soft furnishings. These should be treated in cases of massive
infestation and upon the initiation of control measures with a suitable insecticide and
vacuumed regularly.
There may be an attachment of single ticks. For this reason, a transmission of
infectious diseases cannot be completely excluded if conditions are unfavourable.
The veterinary medicinal product is not suitable for direct treatment of the
environment.
Given the volume delivered by the spray pump (0.5ml/pump) the veterinary medicinal
product is very suitable for use in cats and dogs up to 5-10 kg bodyweight,
depending on the length of hair (see also section 3.9) but not adequate for medium
and large dogs.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
For cutaneous use only.
It is important to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment.
Avoid contact with the animal’s eyes. In the case of accidental eye contact
immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with water.
Do not spray directly onto areas of broken skin.
Allow treated animals to dry in a well ventilated room (see also section ‘Special
precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product
to animals’).
Do not confine animals in an enclosed space or pet carrier until the coat is totally dry.
In the absence of specific tolerance and efficacy data, the veterinary medicinal
product is not recommended for the treatment of species other than cats and dogs.
Puppies and kittens from 2 days of age may be safely treated.
Keep treated animals away from fires or other sources of heat, and surfaces likely to
be affected by the alcohol spray, for at least 30 minutes following spraying and until
the fur is totally dry. Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
This veterinary medicinal product can cause mucous membrane and eye irritation.
Therefore, contact of the veterinary medicinal product with mouth and eyes should be
avoided.
People with asthma or a known hypersensitivity to insecticides or alcohol should avoid
contact with the veterinary medicinal product. Avoid contents coming into contact with
the fingers. If this occurs, wash hands with soap and water. If irritation occurs, seek
medical advice.
After accidental ocular exposure the eye should be rinsed carefully with plain water.
Treated animals should not be handled until the fur is dry, and children should not be
allowed to play with treated animals until the fur is dry. It is therefore recommended
that animals are not treated during the day, but should be treated during the early
evening, and that recently treated animals are not allowed to sleep with owners,
especially children.
Spray animals in the open air or a well-ventilated room.
Do not breathe spray. Do not smoke, drink or eat during application.
Personal protective equipment consisting of PVC or nitrile gloves should be worn when
handling the veterinary medicinal product. It is recommended to wear a waterproof
apron for the protection of clothing.
If clothing becomes heavily wetted with the veterinary medicinal product, it should be
removed and washed before re-use.
Dispose of gloves after use and then wash hands with soap and water. Wash splashes
from skin with soap and water immediately. If irritation occurs, seek medical advice.
Treatment of multiple animals: Good ventilation is particularly important where
several animals are to be treated. Treat multiple animals outside or reduce the build-
up of vapour by removing the animals from the treatment room while the alcohol is
evaporating and ensure that the treatment room is well ventilated between individual
treatments. In addition, ensure that the drying room is well ventilated and avoid
housing several recently treated animals within the same air space.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Dogs should not be allowed to swim in watercourses for 2 days after application.
