ATC code
Species
Dogs.
Indications
Treatment of flea infestations (C. felis).
Dose to be administered and administration route
Oral use.
The minimum effective recommended dose is 1 mg/kg, with the following recommendations:
One tablet should be given to dogs weighing 11.1 kg to 57.0 kg and two tablets for dogs weighing over 57 kg when a flea infestation is detected. The frequency of treatment depends on the degree of infestation. In the case of a severe flea infestation, it may be necessary to treat the animals every day or every other day, until the flea infestation is controlled. Treatment may be resumed if fleas reappear. No more than one treatment should be given per day.
Tablets should be given orally, with or without food. In order to improve palatability, tablets can be disguised in a small quantity of food immediately prior to administration.
The veterinary medicinal product does not have persistent activity. To prevent re-infestation, a suitable treatment to control immature stages of the flea life cycle is recommended. The veterinary surgeon should establish an appropriate treatment regime.
