Description
Ectoline 67mg Spot On Solution for Small Dogs 2-10kg
Legal category: NFA-VPS
Ectoline 67mg Spot On Solution for Small Dogs 2-10kg contains the active ingredient Fipronil to kill fleas and ticks in dogs weighing 2-10kg aged over 2 months. It kills fleas within 24 hours and most ticks within 48 hours (if ticks from the species Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Ixodes ricinus are already present when the product is applied then not all of them may be
killed within the first 48 hours but should be killed within a week).
Ectoline 67mg Spot On Solution for Small Dogs 2-10kg protects against new infestations of adult fleas for up to 8 weeks and against ticks for up to 4 weeks. The minimum treatment interval is 4 weeks.
Ectoline 67mg Spot On Solution for Small Dogs 2-10kg can also be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) where this has been previously diagnosed by a veterinary surgeon. In this instance monthly applications are recommended.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Fipronil 67mg
- Other Ingredients: Butyhydroxyanisole E320 0.134mg, Butylhydroxytoluene E321 0.067mg, Benzyl alcohol, Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether.
Cautions
- Laboratory studies using fipronil have not shown any evidence of teratogenic or embryotoxic effect. Studies have not been carried out with this product in pregnant and lactating bitches. Use in pregnancy and lactation only in accordance with professional veterinary advice and a benefit/risk assessment.
- Do not use on puppies less than 2 months old and /or weighing less than 2kg in the absence of available data.
- Do not use on sick (e.g. systemic diseases, fever…) or convalescent animals.
- Do not use in rabbits, as adverse reactions and even death could occur.
- This product is specifically developed for dogs. Do not use in cats, as this could lead to overdosing.
- Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of excipients.
- Shampooing an hour prior to treatment does not affect the efficacy of the product against fleas.
- Bathing/immersion in water within two days after application of the product should be avoided. Weekly immersion in water for one minute reduces the period of persistent insecticidal efficacy against fleas by one week, and therefore it is advisable to avoid frequent swimming or bathing.
- The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to the animals. If the animal has been treated prior to exposure to the ticks, the ticks will be killed in the first 24-48 hours after attachment. This will usually be prior to engorgement, minimising but not excluding the risk of transmission of diseases. Once dead, ticks will often drop off the animal, but any remaining ticks may be removed with a gentle pull.
- Fleas from pets often infest the animal's basket, bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings which should be treated, in case of massive infestation and at the beginning of the control measures, with a suitable insecticide and vacuumed regularly.
- For optimal control of flea infestation in multi-pet household, all dogs and cats in the household should be treated with a suitable insecticide.
- Animals should be weighed accurately prior to treatment.
Avoid contact with the animal's eyes. In the case of accidental eye contact, immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with water. - It is important to make sure that the product is applied to an area where the animal cannot lick it off and to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment
- Do not apply the product on wounds or damaged skin.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals:
- This product can cause mucous membrane and eye irritation. Therefore, contact between the product and the mouth or eyes should be avoided. In the case of accidental eye contact, immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with water. If eye irritation persists seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
- Do not smoke, drink or eat during application.
- Avoid contents coming into contact with the fingers. If this occurs, wash hands with soap and water. Wash hands after use.
- People with known hypersensitivity to fipronil or excipients should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.
- Treated animals should not be handled 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 that animals are not treated during the day, but should be treated during the early evening, and that recently treated animals should not be allowed to sleep with owners, especially children.
