The minimum interval between two treatments should be not less than 4 weeks. Advice for the safe application: Disconnect one of the blisters from the blister card. This helps to avoid accidental opening of the adjacent blister package in order to protect the still unopened pipettes from exposure to humidity. Open the blister with scissors. To avoid damaging of the pipette cut along the line marked with the scissors icon. Carefully peal back the foil from the cut off end & withdraw the pipette. Hold the pipette upright. Tap lightly to ensure the entire liquid contents are within the main body of the pipette. Bend the upper border strip backwards. Then the pipette can be set aside, if necessary. To open the pipette, snap off the top of the pipette along the scored line. Part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin & squeeze the pipette several times to empty its content completely & directly onto the skin in one spot. Application of the solution near the base of the head minimises the possibility that the animal will lick the solution off. Care should be taken after the application that animals do not mutually lick off the solution. Care should be taken to avoid excessive wetting of the hair with the product since this will cause a sticky appearance of hairs at the treatment spot. However should this occur, it will disappear within 24 hours post application. For the treatment & control of flea allergy it is recommended that allergic patients & all other dogs & cats in the household should be treated at monthly intervals.

Special warnings for each target species For the optimal control of flea problems in households with several animals all dogs & cats should be treated with an authorised insecticide. Fleas from pets often infest animal's baskets, bedding & regular resting areas such as carpets & soft furnishings which should be treated, in case of massive infestation & at the beginning of the control measures, with a suitable insecticide & vacuumed regularly. The influence of bathing/shampooing on the efficacy of this veterinary medicinal product in cats has not been investigated. However, from studies conducted in dogs, shampooing with a medicated shampoo, followed by thorough drying, 1 to 2 hours before treatment application & bathing once weekly over a period of 6 weeks has been shown not to affect the efficacy of this veterinary medicinal product against fleas in dogs. Bathing & intensive wetting of the coat should be avoided for the first 2 days following administration of the product. Adverse reactions If licking occurs, a brief period of hypersalivation may be observed due mainly to the nature of the carrier substance. Among the extremely rare suspected adverse reactions, transient cutaneous reactions at the application site (scaling, local alopecia, pruritus, erythema) & general pruritus or alopecia have been reported after use. In very rare cases, hypersalivation, reversible neurological signs (hyperaesthesia, depression, nervous signs), vomiting or respiratory signs have been observed after use. Use during pregnancy & lactation Laboratory studies using fipronil have not shown any teratogenic or embryotoxic effect. No studies have been carried out on pregnant or lactating dogs using this veterinary medicinal product. Therefore its use during pregnancy & lactation should only be after a relevant benefit-risk analysis made by the treating veterinarian. Overdose The toxicity of the veterinary medicinal product administered to the skin is very low. The risk of experiencing adverse effects may however increase when overdosing, so animals should always be treated with the correct pipette size according to body weight.
