Adverse reactions
If licking occurs, a brief period of hypersalivation (a lot of saliva in the cat’s mouth) may be observed due mainly to the nature of the ingredients.
Among the extremely rare suspected adverse reactions, temporary skin reactions on the application site (skin discoloration, local hair loss, pruritus (hives, rash), erythema (redness)) and general pruritus (hives, rash) or hair loss have been reported after use. Exceptionally, hypersalivation, reversible neurologic symptoms (hyperesthesia (oversensitivity), depression, nervous symptoms), vomiting or respiratory symptoms have been observed after use.
If you notice any serious effects or other effects not mentioned in this leaflet, please inform your veterinary surgeon.
Special warnings
The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to the animals. Once dead, ticks will often drop off the animal, but any remaining ticks may be removed with a gentle pull. The product prevents re-infestation with all stages of ticks (Dermacentor Reticulatus) for four weeks, depending on the level of environmental challenge.
Fleas from pets often infest the animal's basket, bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings which should be treated, in case of massive infestation and at the beginning of the control measures, with a suitable insecticide and vacuumed regularly. The product prevents re-infestation with all stages of ticks (Dermacentor Reticulatus) for four weeks, depending on the level of environmental challenge.
For optimal control of flea infestation in a multi-pet household, all dogs and cats in the household should be treated with a suitable insecticide.
When used as part of a strategy for the treatment of Flea Allergy Dermatitis, monthly applications to the allergic patient and to other cats in the household are recommended.
