4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 TARGET SPECIES
Dogs
4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
For the prevention and treatment of flea infestations and for the
treatment of biting lice _(Trichodectes canis) _on dogs weighing
≥ 4 to < 10 kg.
Fleas on dogs are killed within one day following treatment. One
treatment prevents further flea infestation for four weeks.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not treat unweaned puppies of less than 8 weeks of age.
Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to
any of the excipients.
This product is specifically developed for dogs. Do not use in cats or
pet rabbits as this could lead to overdosing.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
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
reduction in environmental challenge, the additional use of a suitable
environmental treatment against adult fleas and their
developing stages is recommended. In order to reduce further the
environmental challenge, it is recommended that all cats,
pet rabbits and dogs in the household are treated, with a product
approved for the species. Treatment of nursing bitches
controls flea infestations on both dam and offspring.
The product remains effective if the animal becomes wet, for example
after exposure to heavy rain. However, re-treatment may
become necessary, dep
