4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 TARGET SPECIES
Dogs (over 40 kg up to 60 kg).
For dogs less than or equal to 40 kg or more than 60 kg body weight,
use the appropriate Advantix Spot-on solution product
or combination of products (see section 4.9).
4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
For the treatment and prevention of flea (_Ctenocephalides canis_,
_Ctenocephalides felis_) infestation.
Fleas on dogs are killed within one day following treatment. One
treatment prevents further flea infestation for four weeks. The
product can be used as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy
dermatitis (FAD).
For the treatment of biting lice (_Trichodectes canis_).
The product has persistent acaricidal and repellent efficacy against
tick infestations (_Rhipicephalus sanguineus _and _Ixodes _
_ricinus _for four weeks, and _Dermacentor reticulatus _for three
weeks)_._
By repelling and killing the tick vector _Rhipicephalus sanguineus,
_the product reduces the likelihood of transmission of the
pathogen _Ehrlichia canis, _thereby reducing the risk of canine
ehrlichiosis. The reduction in risk has been shown in studies to
commence from 3 days following application of the product and to
persist for 4 weeks.
Ticks already on the dog may not be killed within two days after
treatment and may remain attached and visible. Therefore the
removal of ticks already on the dog at the time of treatment is
recommended, in order to prevent
