Re-infestation from emergence of new fleas in the environment may continue to occur for six weeks or longer after treatment is initiated. More than one treatment may therefore be required, depending on the level of fleas in the environment. To aid in environmental challenge, the additional use of a suitable environmental treatment against adult fleas and their developing stages is recommended.
The product remains effective if the animal becomes wet, for example after swimming or exposure to heavy rain.
However, in cases of frequent swimming or bathing re-treatment may become necessary, depending on the presence of fleas in the environment. In these cases do not re-treat more frequently than once weekly.
In cases of biting louse infestation, a further veterinary examination 30 days after treatment is recommended as some animals may require a second treatment.
Method of administration:
Apply only to undamaged skin. Hold the pipette upright. Tap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure the contents remain within the main body of the pipette. Snap back the tip. The dog should be standing for easy application. The entire contents of the pipette(s) should be applied evenly to three or four spots all located at different application sites along the dog’s backline from the shoulder to the base of the tail. At each spot part the coat until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and gently squeeze to expel a portion of the contents directly onto the skin.
Temporary changes to the coat (clumped/greasy hair) may be noted at the application site.
Correct application will minimise the opportunity for the animal to lick the product.
Adverse reactions
The product is bitter tasting and salivation may occasionally occur if the dog licks the application site immediately after treatment. This is not a sign of intoxication and disappears within some minutes without treatment. (see also section 4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route).
In very rare occasions skin reactions such as hair loss, redness, itching and skin lesions may occur.
Agitation and disorientation has also been reported. Excessive salivation and nervous signs such as incoordination, tremors and depression have also been reported exceptionally in dogs.
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).
