On very rare occasions the following have been reported:
- Application site and skin reactions: pruritus, hair change, dermatitis, erythema, alopecia, fur discolouration and
greasy appearance of hair.
- Neurological reactions: ataxia and convulsions.
- Systemic reactions: lethargy.
- Digestive tract reactions: emesis and diarrhoea.
These signs are usually transient and disappear within 24hours of the application; if they take longer to disappear, consult your veterinarian.
A brief period of hyper salivation may occur if the animal licks the application site immediately after treatment. This is not a sign of intoxication and disappears within minutes without treatment. Correct application will minimise licking of the application site.
As a precautionary measure, people should avoid contact with the treated area of the animal and children should not be allowed to play with treated animals until the application site is dry. It is therefore recommended to treat animals in the evening. Recently treated animals should not be allowed to sleep in the same bed as their owners, especially children.
Care should be taken to avoid excessive wetting of the dog's hair with the veterinary medicinal product since this may cause a sticky and tangled appearance of the hair at the treatment spot. However, if this should occur, it will disappear within 24 hours post application.
The solvent in Prac-tic may stain certain materials including leather, fabrics, plastics and finished surfaces. Allow the application site to dry before permitting contact with such materials.
People with known hypersensitivity to the phenylpyrazole class compounds or any of the excipients should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.
Avoid skin contact with the pipette content. Wash hands or other exposed body parts after use with soap and water. If accidental eye exposure occurs, the eyes should be rinsed carefully with water. If eye irritation persists seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to your doctor.
Do not smoke, eat or drink during application.
Apply only to the skin surface and on intact skin. This veterinary medicinal product is external topical applicationas a spot-on treatment only. Do not administer orally or via any other route. The dog should be accurately weighed before the treatment. Care should be taken to avoid contact of the veterinary medicinal product with the eyes of the animal.
It is important to apply the dose to an area where the dog cannot lick it off and to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment.
Following treatment, ticks will detach from the host within 24 to 48 hours after infestation; however, single ticks might remain on the animal. For this reason, a transmission of infectious diseases by ticks cannot be completely excluded. This veterinary medicinal product is for the treatment of ticks and adult fleas. All dogs in a household should be treated.
In cases of heavy infestation prior to treatment, the dog’s surrounding should be vacuumed and treated with a suitable insecticide.
Dogs should not be bathed or shampooed from 48 hours before treatment. Immersion of the animal in water or shampooing within 24 hours after treatment may reduce the efficacy of the veterinary medicinal product. However, weekly immersion in water did not affect efficacy against fleas and ticks. The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established in pregnant or lactating bitches, nor in breeding animals, although in laboratory animal studies no indications of relevant effects on reproduction or foetal development were observed. Use only accordingly to the benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian. Any unused veterinary medicinal product or waste materials derived from such veterinary medicinal products should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements. Prac-tic should not enter watercourses as this may be dangerous for fish and other aquatic organisms.
