Directions For Use

Directions for Use

Mechanical pump spray for external use only.

The pump delivers .5 ml (1 ml bottle) or 1.5 ml (25 ml bottle) or 3ml (5 ml bottle) spray per pump. In order to dampen the coat down to the skin, apply 3 to 6 ml per kg bodyweight, (7.5 to 15 mg of active ingredient per kg bodyweight), depending on the length of hair.

This dosage can be achieved with 6 to 12 pump applications per kg bodyweight of the 1 ml presentation, or 2 to 4 pump applications of the 25 ml presentation or 1 to 2 pump application(s) of the 5 ml presentation.

Depending on the coat length,

the 1 ml presentation allows 4 to 8 treatments of a 4 kg cat or up to 3 treatments of a 1 kg dog,

the 25 ml presentation allows 2 to 4 treatments of a 2 kg dog,

the 5 ml presentation allows 2 to 4 treatments of a 4 kg dog.

Method of administration: For the 25 and 5 ml bottles, adjust the pump nozzle to spray setting.

Spray the entire body of the animal, and apply from a distance of approximately 1-2 cm. Apply against the lay of the hair and make sure that the entire coat of the animal is dampened. Ruffle the coat, especially in long haired animals, so that the product penetrates down to the skin. For treatment of the head region, and when treating young or nervous pets, application may be carried out by spraying onto a gloved hand and rubbing the product into the coat. Allow to dry naturally. Do not towel dry.

It is important to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment.

Care should be taken to avoid excessive wetting of the hair with the product since this will cause a sticky appearance of hairs at the treatment spot. However, should this occur, it will disappear within 24 hours post application.

There may be an attachment of single ticks. For this reason transmission of infectious diseases cannot be completely excluded if conditions are unfavourable.

The product is not suitable for direct treatment of the environment.

Keep treated animals away from fires or other sources of heat, and surfaces likely to be affected by the alcohol spray, for at least 3 minutes following spraying and until the fur is totally dry.

Treatment schedule: For optimal control of flea and/or tick infestation, the treatment schedule can be based on the local epidemiological situation.

In the absence of safety studies, the minimum treatment interval is 4 weeks.

Puppies and kittens from 2 days of age may be safely treated.

Side Effects

Side effects of Effipro Spray 500ml

For animal treatment only. For external use only.

Do not use on sick (systemic diseases, fever?) or convalescent animals.

Do not use in rabbits, as adverse drug reactions and even death could occur.

Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of excipients. Avoid contact with the animal?s eyes. In the case of accidental eye contact, immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with water.

Do not exceed the recommended dosage.

Avoid contact with the animal?s eyes.

Do not spray directly onto areas of broken skin.

Allow treated animals to dry in a well ventilated room.

Do not confine animals in an enclosed space or pet carrier until the coat is totally dry.

Do not allow animals to lick each other following treatment.

In the absence of specific tolerance and efficacy data, the product is not recommended for the treatment of species other than cats and dogs.

If licking occurs, a brief period of hypersalivation may be observed due mainly to the nature of the carrier.

Among the extremely rare suspected adverse reactions, transient cutaneous reactions at the application site (squamosis, local alopecia, pruritus, erythema) and general pruritus or alopecia have been reported after use. Exceptionally, hypersalivation, reversible neurologic symptoms (hyperesthesia, depression, nervous symptoms) or vomiting have been observed after use. The risk of adverse effects may increase in cases of overdose.

Start an appropriate symptomatic treatment in case of overdosing.

Operator warnings: This product can cause mucous membrane and eye irritation. Therefore, contact between the product and the mouth or eyes should be avoided.

Animals or operators with a known hypersensitivity to insecticides or alcohol should avoid contact with the product. Avoid contents coming into contact with the fingers. If this occurs, wash hands with soap and water. After accidental ocular exposure the eye should be rinsed carefully with plain water.

Treated animals should not be handled until the fur is dry, and children should not be allowed to play with treated animals until the fur 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 are not allowed to sleep with owners, especially children.

Spray animals in the open air or a well ventilated room.

Do not breathe spray. Do not smoke, drink or eat during application.

Wear PVC or nitrile gloves during treatment of animals. It is recommended to wear a waterproof apron for the protection of clothing. If clothing becomes heavily wetted with the product, it should be removed and washed before re-use.

Dispose of gloves after use and then wash hands with soap and water.

Wash splashes from skin with soap and water immediately. If irritation occurs, seek medical advice. People with known sensitivity or asthma may be particularly sensitive to the product. Do not use product if you have previously experienced a reaction to it.

Treatment of multiple animals: Good ventilation is particularly important where several animals are to be treated. Treat multiple animals outside, or reduce the build up of vapour by removing the animals from the treatment room while the alcohol is evaporating and ensure that the treatment room is well ventilated between individual treatments. In addition, ensure that the drying room is well ventilated and avoid housing several recently treated animals within the same air space.

Any unused veterinary medicinal product or waste materials derived from such veterinary medicinal products should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements. Fipronil may adversely affect aquatic organisms. Dogs should not be allowed to swim in water courses for 2 days after application. Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with the product or empty container.
