4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 TARGET SPECIES
Cats.
4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
For the treatment of tapeworm infections in cats weighing from 2.5 to
5 kg: _Dipylidium caninum_ (immature and adult), _Taenia_
spp (immature and adult) and _Echinococcus multilocularis_
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use on cats weighing less than 2.5 kg bodyweight.
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to
any of the excipients.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Do not allow recently treated animals to groom each other.
When applying the veterinary medicinal product, special attention
should be paid in long hair breeds in order to ensure that it
is applied directly to the skin and not on the hair, as this could
lead to a lower bioavailability of the active substance and thus,
to a reduced activity.
Shampooing and immersion of the animals in water directly after
treatment may reduce the efficacy of the product. Treated
animals therefore should not be bathed until the solution has dried.
It is recommended to treat all the animals living in the same
household concomitantly.
When infection with the cestode _Dipylidium caninum_ has been
confirmed, concomitant treatment against intermediate hosts,
such as fleas and lice, should be discussed with a veterinarian to
prevent re-infection.
