Johnsons Fipronil 50 mg Spot-On Solution for Cats

The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to the animals. If the animal
has been treated prior to exposure to the ticks, the ticks will start to 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 easily removed by a gentle pull.
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.
Avoid frequent swimming or shampooing of the animal because the
maintenance of effectiveness of the product in these cases has not been
tested.
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.

(i) Special precautions for use in animals
Avoid contact with the animal’s eyes.In the case of accidental eye contact
immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with water.
It is important to make sure that the product is applied to an area where the
animal cannot lick it off and to make sure that animals do not lick each other
following treatment.
There may be an attachment of ticks. For this reason transmission of
infectious diseases cannot be completely excluded if conditions are
unfavourable.
Do not apply the product to wounds or damaged skin.
(ii) Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the
veterinary medicinal product to the animals
This product can cause mucous membrane and eye irritation. Therefore,
contact of the product with mouth and eyes should be avoided.

plain water. If irritation to the eyes persists contact your doctor immediately
and bring with you the package leaflet.
Avoid contents coming into contact with the fingers. If this occurs, wash
hands with soap and water.
