INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
For the treatment and prevention of flea (_Ctenocephalides felis_)
infestation.
Fleas on dogs are killed within one day following treatment. One
treatment prevents
further flea infestation for four weeks. The product can be used as
part of a treatment
strategy for flea allergy dermatitis (FAD).
The product has persistent acaricidal efficacy against tick
infestations (_Rhipicephalus _
_sanguineus_ and _Ixodes ricinus _for four weeks, and _Dermacentor
reticulatus _for three
weeks) and persistent repellent efficacy (_Ixodes ricinus_) for three
weeks.
Ticks already on the dog may not be killed within two days after
treatment and may
remain attached and visible. Therefore the removal of ticks already on
the dog at the
time of treatment is recommended, in order to prevent them from
attaching and
having a blood meal.
