subsides within 48 hours after removal of the collar
If any of these symptoms occur, the collar should be removed. Treatment should be
symptomatic as no specific antidote is known.
Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder or the national competent authority via the
national reporting system. See also section 16 of the package leaflet for respective
contact details.
As the collar exerts its full effect after one week, the collar should be preferably
applied 1 week before animals are likely to become exposed to infestation.
In rare cases attachment of ticks can occur while wearing the collar. Under
unfavourable conditions the transmission of infectious diseases through ticks or
sandflies can therefore not be ruled out entirely.

Special precautions for use in animals
In case of skin lesions remove the collar until symptoms have resolved.
The influence of shampooing on the duration of efficacy has not been investigated.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
Wash hands with soap and cold water after fitting the collar.
People with known hypersensitivity to triphenyl phosphate should avoid contact with
the veterinary medicinal product and the treated animal. Seek medical advice in
case of hypersensitivity reactions.
This veterinary medicinal product contains deltamethrin which may cause transient
tingling, itchiness, and blotchy redness on exposed skin.
Avoid letting children, in particular those under 2 years old, touch the collar, play with
it or put it into their mouth.
Care should be taken not to allow young children to have prolonged intensive
contact, e.g. sleeping with a pet wearing a collar.
Keep the sachet with the collar in the outer carton until use.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
While occasional contact with water does not reduce the effectiveness of the collar, it
should always be removed before swimming and bathing the dog to avoid adverse
effects on aquatic organisms. Dogs must be prevented from swimming in water for
the first five days of wearing the collar.
Do not use with other ectoparasiticides containing organophosphates.
Store below 25°C.
Keep the foil sachet in the outer carton.
