Warnings

It is possible for single ticks to attack or single sand flies or mosquitoes to bite the dog. For this reason, if particularly unfavorable conditions occur, it is not possible to completely exclude the transmission of pathogens through these arthropods. The product retains its efficacy against fleas when treated animals are subjected to occasional immersion in water (e.g. swimming, bathing). However, it is advisable not to wash or allow dogs to swim for 48 hours after treatment. Avoid subjecting treated dogs to frequent baths or washing, as these can negatively affect the maintenance of the effectiveness of the product. To reduce re-infestation due to the appearance of new fleas, it is recommended to treat all cohabiting dogs. Other animals living in the same house must also be treated with a suitable product. To further contribute to reducing environmental infestation, we also recommend the use of an environmental treatment aimed at adult fleas and their relative larval stages. In the absence of specific studies, the use of the product is not recommended in dogs less than 8 weeks of age, or in dogs weighing less than 2 kg. Be careful to avoid contact of the product with the dog's eyes. It is important to make sure that the product is applied in an area where the animal cannot lick itself and to make sure that other animals do not lick the treated area after application. In cats the product can 'cause potentially fatal convulsions, due to the presence of permethrin. In case of accidental skin exposure, wash the cat with shampoo or soap and seek immediate veterinary care. To prevent cats from being accidentally exposed to the product, separate treated dogs from cats until the application site is dry. It is important to ensure that cats do not lick the application site of a dog that has been treated with this product. Should such exposure occur, seek immediate veterinary care. The product can have negative effects on aquatic organisms. Do not allow treated dogs to enter water courses for 2 days following treatment. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the product to animals: this product can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Therefore, avoid that the product comes into contact with the skin and eyes. Do not open the pipette towards or near your face. In case of ocular exposure or if the eyes become irritated during administration, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If eye irritation persists, consult a doctor.
