Directions For Use
Directions for Use
Remove the Stronghold tube from its protective package. Holding the tube upright, firmly depress the cap to puncture the applicator seal, then remove the cap. Part the hair at the base of the animal?s neck in front of the shoulder blades to expose a small area of skin. Apply the tip of the Stronghold tube directly to the skin without massaging. Squeeze the tube firmly to empty the contents in one spot. Avoid contact between Stronghold and fingers. Stronghold should be administered as a single topical application of a unit dose delivering a minimum of 6?mg/kg selamectin. When concurrent infestations or infections in the same animal are to be treated with Stronghold, only one topical application of the recommended 6?mg/kg dose should be administered at any one time.

Side Effects
Side effects of Stronghold For 2.5-7.5kg Cats 45 mg (blue) (3 pipettes)
For animal treatment only.
For external use only. This product is to be applied to the skin surface only. Do not administer orally or parenterally.
Do not use in animals under 6 weeks of age. Do not use in cats that are suffering from concomitant disease, or are debilitated and underweight (for size and age).
Do not apply when the hair coat is wet. However, shampooing or soaking the animal 2 or more hours after treatment will not reduce the efficacy of Stronghold.
Keep treated animals away from fires and other sources of ignition for at least 30 minutes or until the hair coat is dry.
Do not allow treated animals to bathe in water courses until at least two hours after treatment.
Avoid direct contact with treated animals until the application area is dry. Keep children away from treated animals for at least 30 minutes following application of Stronghold or until the hair coat is dry.
For ear mite treatment, do not apply directly to the ear canal.
Use of Stronghold in cats has occasionally been associated with a mild, transient hair loss at the site of application. In a small proportion of these cases, transient focal irritation may also be observed. The hair loss and irritation are normally self-resolving, but symptomatic therapy may be applicable in some circumstances.
On rare occasions, application of Stronghold may produce a local temporary clumping of the hair at the application site and/or the appearance of a small quantity of a white powder. This is normal and will disappear typically within 24 hours of administration and does not affect either the safety of efficacy of Stronghold.
Exceptionally, as with other macrocyclic lactones, reversible neurological signs have been observed after use of the product.
It is important to apply the dose to the correct site as indicated to minimise the quantity that the animal can lick off. If significant licking does occur, a brief period of hypersalivation may rarely be observed in cats.

Q & A
- Q. I have two 6 month old kittens. do I have to separate them for longer than the 30 minutes to avoid grooming after application of Stronghold?
- A.
The key thing is to wait until the site is completely dry - this usually takes about 30 minutes, but it does vary a bit. If they're in the habit of licking each other a lot, it might make sense to separate them for a couple of hours: if they dribble on each other a lot, they could theoretically absorb some of the product up until 2 hours after administration.
After that, they can do what they like to each other!
Hope this helps,
