Fleascreen 50 mg Spot-on Solution for Cats

Avoid contact with the animal's eyes. In the case of accidental eye contact,
immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with water.
Do not apply the veterinary medicinal product on wounds or damaged skin.
Animals should be weighed accurately prior to treatment.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Fleas from pets often infest the animal's basket, bedding and regular resting areas
such as carpets and soft furnishings which should be treated, in case of massive
infestation and at the beginning of the control measures, with a suitable insecticide
and vacuumed regularly.
The veterinary medicinal product does not prevent ticks from attaching to the
animals. If the animal has been treated prior to exposure to the ticks, the tick will be
killed in the first 24-48 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, but any remaining ticks may be
removed with a gentle pull.
No data on the effect of bathing/shampooing on the efficacy of the veterinary
medicinal product in cats are available. However, based on information available for
dogs, weekly immersion in water for one minute reduces the period of persistent
insecticidal efficacy against fleas by one week.
For optimum control of flea problems in a multi-pet household, all dogs and cats in
the household should be treated with a suitable insecticide.
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 between the veterinary medicinal product and the mouth or eyes
should be avoided.
In the case of accidental eye contact, immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with
water. If eye irritation persists seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or
the label to the physician.
Do not smoke, drink or eat during application.
Avoid contents coming into contact with the fingers. If this occurs, wash off
immediately with soap and water.
Wash hands after use.
People with a known hypersensitivity to fipronil or dimethyl sulfoxide or other
excipients should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.
Treated animals should not be handled until the application site is dry, and children
should not be allowed to play with treated animals until the application site 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 should not be
allowed to sleep with owners, especially children.
Keep pipettes in the original packaging and dispose of used pipettes immediately.
