Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients.
Special warnings for each target species
Tapeworm infestation occurs in cats at the earliest in the third week of life. Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one common type of tapeworm – Dipylidium caninum. Tapeworm infestation is certain to reoccur unless control of intermediate hosts such as fleas, mice, etc.is undertaken. Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy:
- Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an extended period of time.
- Underdosing, this may be due to underestimation of body weight or misadministration of the veterinary medicinal product.
Special precautions for use in animals
None.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice and show the package leaflet to the physician.
In the interest of good hygiene, persons administering the tablets directly to the cat or by adding them to the cat’s food, should wash their hands afterwards.
Unused part-tablets should be returned to the open blister pocket and kept in a safe place out of the sight and reach of children.
Other precautions
Echinococcosis represents a hazard for humans. As Echinococcosis is a notifiable disease to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), specific guidelines on the treatment and follow-up, and on the safeguard of persons, need to be obtained from the relevant competent authority.
