Indications
In dogs:
For the treatment and prevention of flea (killing effect) and/or tick (killing and repellent effects) infestations where repellent activity is necessary against mosquitoes, sandflies, and/or biting flies.
• Fleas
Treatment and prevention of Ctenocephalides felis flea infestations and prevention of Ctenocephalides canis flea infestations. One treatment prevents new flea infestations for 4 weeks.
The product can be used as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis where this has been previously diagnosed by a veterinarian.
• Ticks
Treatment and prevention of tick infestations (Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus). One treatment kills (Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and repels (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus) ticks for 4 weeks after treatment, and repels Dermacentor reticulatus from 7 days up to 4 weeks after treatment.
• Mosquitoes and sandflies
Repels (anti-feeding activity) sandflies (Phlebotomus perniciosus) for 3 weeks and mosquitoes (Culex pipiens, Aedes albopictus) for 4 weeks.
Kills sandflies (Phlebotomus perniciosus) and mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) for 3 weeks.
• Biting flies (Stable flies)
Repels (anti-feeding activity) and kills stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) for 5 weeks.
Dose to be administered and administration route
For external use.
The recommended minimum dose is 6.76 mg fipronil/kg bodyweight, and 50.48 mg/kg permethrin equivalent to 0.1 ml spot-on solution per kg bodyweight.
The use of the product should be based on a confirmed infestation or risk of infestation with fleas and/or ticks when repellent activity is also necessary against mosquitoes, sandflies and/or biting flies. Depending on the ectoparasite challenge repetition of the treatment might be indicated. In such instances, the interval between two treatments should be at least 4 weeks.
Method of administration:
Spot-on use.
Select the appropriate pipette size for the weight of the dog. For dogs over 60 kg, use the appropriate combination of two pipette sizes that most closely matches the bodyweight.
The product should be applied in two out-of-reach spots so that the dog cannot lick the application site. These sites are at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades and the middle of the neck between the base of the skull and the shoulder blades.
Remove the blister card from the package and separate one blister. Remove the pipette by cutting along the dotted line with a pair of scissors or tearing open after folding the marked corner. Holding the pipette upright away from face and body, cut the pipette tip with scissors to open. Part the coat on the back of the dog until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin. Squeeze the pipette, applying about half of the contents half way down the neck between the base of the skull and the shoulder blades. Repeat the application at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades to empty the pipette. For best results, ensure that the product is applied directly to the skin rather than on the hair.
Adverse reactions
Transient skin reactions at the application site (skin discolouration, local hair loss, itching, redness) and general itching, hair loss and erythema (redness) have been reported very rarely after use. Reversible nervous signs (increased sensitivity to stimulation, hyperactivity, muscle tremor, lethargy, ataxia (loss of coordination), other nervous signs), vomiting, anorexia (not eating) and hypersalivation have also been reported very rarely after use.
If licking of the application site occurs, transient hypersalivation and emesis (vomiting) may be observed.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s)) during the course of one treatment)
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
