Frontline Tri-Act - Dogs (2-5kg)

WARNINGS

Special warnings for each target species

It is possible for single ticks to attach themselves or for single sand flies or mosquitoes to bite the dog. For this reason, in the event of particularly unfavorable conditions, 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, it is advisable, in addition, to use an environmental treatment aimed at adult fleas and their relative larval stages.

Special precautions for use in animals

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 ensure that the product is applied in an area where the animal cannot lick itself and to ensure that other animals do not lick the treated area after application.

In cats the product can cause life-threatening 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.

Special precautions for whoever administers the product

For veterinary use only.

May cause skin and eye irritation. 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. In case of skin exposure or if the skin becomes irritated during administration of the product, immediately wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water. If skin irritation persists or recurs, seek medical attention. People with known hypersensitivity to fipronil and / or permethrin should avoid contact with the product.

The product is harmful if swallowed. Avoid hand-mouth contact. Do not smoke, drink or eat during application. Wash hands after use. If swallowed, if you feel unwell, rinse your mouth and consult a doctor.

Since in case of significant exposure, the excipient N-methylpyrrolidone can induce foetotoxicity and teratogenicity, pregnant women should wear gloves to avoid contact with the product.

Treated animals should not be touched until the application site is dry and children should not be allowed to play with treated animals until the application site is dry. It is therefore recommended not to treat the animals during the day but to treat them in the early evening hours and not to allow the newly treated animals to sleep with their owners, especially with children. Store pipettes in the original blister and, after use, empty pipettes must be disposed of correctly immediately to prevent further access.
