Vectra Felis
ATC code
Species
Cats.
Indications
Treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis) on cats. One application prevents flea infestation for one month. It also prevents the multiplication of fleas by inhibiting flea emergence in the environment of the cat for 3 months.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Dosage:
The minimum recommended dose is 42.3 mg dinotefuran/kg bodyweight and 4.23 mg pyriproxyfen/kg bodyweight.
The treatment dose range is 42.3 to 705 mg dinotefuran/kg bodyweight (bw) and 4.23 to 70.5 mg pyriproxyfen/kg bodyweight (bw) for cats of 0.6 kg to 10 kg bodyweight.
Method and route of administration:
Spot-on use.
Care should be taken to apply the veterinary medicinal product only onto intact (undamaged) cat’s skin.
Treatment schedule:
Following a single administration, the veterinary medicinal product will prevent flea infestation for one month and prevent further flea multiplication by inhibiting flea emergence in the environment of the cat for 3 months. The need to re-treat cats which are likely to be re-infested, and the time interval between such treatments, should be based on an assessment by a veterinarian.
How to apply:
Remove the spot-on applicator from the pack.
Step 1: Hold the applicator upright, placing fingers below the larger disk as shown.
Step 2: With the other hand, press downwards on the smaller disk until the 2 disks meet evenly. This will pierce the seal.
Step 3: The cat should be standing or in a comfortable position for easy application. At the base of cat’s head, part the hair until the skin is visible. Apply the veterinary medicinal product slowly with the tip of the applicator on the skin. Avoid superficial application to the cat’s hair.
Adverse reactions
Slight scales, transient erythema and alopecia can be observed in rare cases, which usually disappear spontaneously without treatment.
Transient neurological signs such as muscle tremors or lethargy may occur very rarely and in particular after application site licking.
Transient cosmetic effects such as wet hair and a white dry residue may occur at the application site very rarely and may persist up to 7 days; however, these effects are usually not noticeable after 48 hours. These changes do not affect the safety or the efficacy of the veterinary medicinal product.
Other application site disorders such as erythema, pruritus, lesions and inflammation may occur very rarely.
Hyperactivity and tachypnoea may occur very rarely.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- 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).
