Active ingredients
Each 1.0 ml pipette contains: permethrin 500.0 mg, imidacloprid 100.0 mg.

Directions
For the treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis). Fleas on dogs are killed within one day of treatment. One treatment prevents further flea infestations 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). Ticks already on the dog cannot be killed within two days of treatment and may remain attached and visible. It is therefore recommended to remove ticks already on the dog at the time of treatment, in order to prevent them from attaching and sucking blood.

Dosage
For spot-on use only. Apply only to undamaged skin. The minimum recommended dose is: 10 mg/kg body weight imidacloprid and 50 mg/kg body weight permethrin. Administer by topical application to the skin according to body weight. For dogs weighing > 40 kg, the appropriate combination of pipettes should be used. To ensure correct dosing, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible. To reduce re-infestation from the emergence of new fleas, it is recommended to treat all dogs in the household. Other animals living in the same household should be treated with a suitable product. To further help reduce environmental risk, the additional use of a suitable environmental treatment against adult fleas and their developmental stages is recommended. Depending on the risk of ectoparasite infestation, it may be necessary to repeat the treatment. The interval between two treatments should be 4 weeks. However, in cases of frequent and/or prolonged exposure to water, efficacy may be reduced. In these cases, do not repeat treatment more than once a week. Transient changes (e.g. skin peeling, white deposits and bristly hair) may be observed at the application sites. Method of administration: Remove the pipette from the packaging. Hold the applicator pipette upright. Tap the narrow end of the pipette to ensure that the contents pass into the main body of the pipette, unscrew and remove the cap. Turn the cap upside down and place the other end of the cap back onto the pipette. Press and twist the cap to break the seal, then remove the cap from the pipette. For dogs weighing 10 kg or less: With the dog standing still, part the hair between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and press several times to empty the contents directly onto the skin. For dogs weighing more than 10 kg: With the dog standing still, the entire contents of the pipette should be applied evenly to four points on the back, from the shoulders to the base of the tail. At each point, part the hair until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and press lightly to empty some of the solution onto the skin. Do not apply too much solution to any one point to avoid some of the solution dripping onto the dog's side.
