Flea treatment and prevention (cats and dogs)
For the prevention of flea infestations in dogs and cats, the veterinary medicinal product should be administered at monthly intervals throughout the flea season, starting one month before fleas become active. Through a reduction in the flea population, monthly treatment of pregnant and lactating animals will aid prevention of flea infestations in the litter up to seven weeks of age.
For use as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis, the veterinary medicinal product should be administered at monthly intervals.
Treatment of roundworm infections (cats and dogs)
A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered.
Treatment of hookworm infections (cats)
A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered.
Treatment of biting lice (cats and dogs)

Treatment of sarcoptic mange (dogs)
For complete elimination of the mites, a single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered for two consecutive months.
Treatment of ear mites (cats)
A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered.
Treatment of ear mites (dogs)
A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered. Loose debris should be gently removed from the external ear canal at the time of treatment. A further veterinary examination 30 days after treatment is recommended as some animals may require a second treatment.
Prevention of heartworm disease (cats and dogs)
The veterinary medicinal product may be administered year-round or at least within one month of the animal’s first exposure to mosquitoes and monthly thereafter until the end of the mosquito season. The final dose must be given within one month after the last exposure to mosquitoes. If a dose is missed and a monthly interval between dosing is exceeded then immediate administration of the veterinary medicinal product and resumption of monthly dosing will minimise the opportunity for the development of adult heartworms.
When replacing another heartworm preventive veterinary medicinal product in a heartworm disease prevention programme, the first dose of the veterinary medicinal product must be given within a month of the last dose of the former medication.
