NAME
FRONTLINE SPRAY

PHARMACOTHERAPEUTIC CATEGORY
Other topical ectoparasiticides.

ACTIVE PRINCIPLES
Fipronil 0.25 g.

EXCIPIENTS
Qb to 100 ml.

INDICATIONS
Treatment and prevention of tick, flea and lice infestations in dogs and cats aged 2 days or more. Fipronil rapidly exerts its lethal action on ticks, preventing the development of the parasite and the possible transmission of infections of which the tick is a vector. It is active against the main species of ticks present on the national territory, including Ixodes ricinus, responsible for the transmission of Lyme disease to dogs, cats and humans. Fipronil acts on fleas by rapidly killing the adult forms, thus preventing the deposition of eggs and therefore new infestations. Thanks to its lethal action on adult fleas, fipronil effectively contributes to the control and resolution of Flea Allergic Dermatitis (FAD) which, in dogs and cats, is caused by the sensitizing action exerted by the antigens contained in the saliva of these parasites. Fipronil also, with a single treatment, quickly and definitively controls and resolves lice infestations in dogs and cats, in particular those caused by Trichodectes canis, the dog's biting louse and by Felicola subrostratus, the cat's biting louse.

CONTRAINDICATIONS / SECONDARY EFFECT
Do not use on animals with extensive skin lesions. Do not use sick animals (systemic diseases, with fever, etc.) or convalescents. Do not use in rabbits as life-threatening adverse reactions may occur.

USE / ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION
Topical.

DOSAGE
Spray from 3 to 6 ml / kg of weight, corresponding to 6-12 sprays (1 spray is equal to 0.5 ml), depending on the length of the hair. Tick protection: up to 1 month after treatment in both dogs and cats. Flea protection: up to 5 weeks after treatment in cats; up to 3 months after treatment in dogs. For correct ectoparasitic prevention it is advisable to carry out monthly treatments in the periods of greater seasonality. Spray against the grain the entire surface of the animal's body, from a distance of 10-20 cm, holding the bottle in a vertical position. For the head and the area around the eyes, apply the product on a glove and wipe it gently against the grain. At the end of these operations, let it dry naturally. Fipronil concentrates in the bacterial glands of the hair follicles, in the 24 hours following application.

STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place, away from flames or heat sources.

WARNINGS
Avoid spraying the product in the eyes of animals, on the mucous membranes and inside the ear. It is important that animals do not lick each other after treatment. It is advisable not to allow dogs to swim in streams in the 2 days following the application of the product as fipronil can be harmful to aquatic organisms. If not properly applied, individual ticks could attach themselves to the dog or cat. For this reason, in the worst case, the transmission of infectious diseases cannot be completely excluded. Properly ventilate the room while dispensing the product. Do not inhale and do not ingest; in case of accidental ingestion consult a doctor. Avoid contact with pregnant women and small children. The product can cause irritation to the mucous membranes and eyes. It is therefore advisable to avoid contact with the mouth and eyes. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, wash thoroughly with water. It is advisable to avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product to animals or people with known sensitivity towards insecticides or alcohol and not to touch animals until the hair is dry. Wash hands after use.
