Contraindications, warnings etc:
Do not use in animals under 6 weeks of age.
Do not use in cats that are suffering from concomitant disease, or are debilitated and underweight (for size and age).
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
Special warnings for use in animals:
Animals may be bathed 2 hours after treatment without loss of efficacy.
Do not apply when the animal’s hair coat is wet. However, shampooing or soaking the animal 2 or more hours after treatment will not reduce the efficacy of the product.
For ear mite treatment, do not apply directly to the ear canal.
It is important to apply the dose as indicated to minimise the quantity that the animal can lick off. If significant licking does occur, a brief period of hypersalivation may rarely be observed in cats.
Special precautions for use in animals: This veterinary medicinal product is to be applied to the skin surface only. Do not administer orally or parenterally. Keep treated animals away from fires and other sources of ignition for at least 30 minutes or until the hair coat is dry.
User safety: This product is highly flammable; keep away from heat, sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition. Do not smoke, eat or drink while handling the product. Wash hands after use and wash off any product in contact with the skin immediately with soap and water. If accidental eye exposure occurs, flush the eyes immediately with water and seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician. Avoid direct contact with treated animals until the application site is dry. On the day of treatment, children must not handle treated animals and the animals should not be permitted to sleep with their owners, especially children. Used applicators should be disposed of immediately and not left within the sight or reach of children. People with sensitive skin or known allergy to veterinary medicinal products of this type should handle the veterinary medicinal product with caution. Do not allow treated animals to bathe in water courses until at least two hours after treatment administration.
Interactions: In extensive field testing no interactions between selamectin and routinely used veterinary medicinal products or medical or surgical procedures were observed.
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness): Use of the veterinary medicinal product in cats has on rare occasions been associated with a mild transient alopecia at the site of application. On very rare occasions transient focal irritation may also be observed. The alopecia and irritation are normally self-resolving, but symptomatic therapy may be applicable in some circumstances. Very rarely, as with other macrocyclic lactones, reversible neurological signs, including seizures, have been observed after use of the veterinary medicinal product in both dogs and cats.
Environmental safety: Any unused veterinary medicinal product or waste materials derived from such veterinary medicinal product should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
