Dose to be administered and administration route
Spot-on use.
The minimum dose is 6.7 mg/kg bw of fipronil and 6 mg/kg bw of (S)-methoprene, corresponding to one pipette of 4.02 ml (XL) per dog (weighing over 40 kg). To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible. Underdosing could result in ineffective use and may favour resistance development.
For infestations with fleas and/or ticks, the need for and frequency of retreatment(s)should be based on professional advice and should take into account the local epidemiological situation and the animal’s lifestyle. In the absence of safety studies, the minimum treatment interval is 4 weeks.
Method of administration:
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. Part the coat on the back of the animal at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze the pipette several times to empty its contents completely and directly onto the skin in one spot. Temporary changes to the coat (clumped/greasy hair) may be noted at the application site.
