Fipronil, permethrin.
Excipients
Benzyl alcohol, diethyl glycol, monoethyl ether.

Warnings
The veterinary medicinal product remains effective after exposure to the sun or if the animal gets wet after rain. Avoid shampooing or immersing the animal in water of treated animals as this may shorten the duration of activity. A dog with fleas may show an allergic reaction to flea saliva called Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD). If the dog develops red skin, itching and biting, or excessive scratching and is restless and annoyed, check for FAD. To reduce reinfestation and the appearance 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. Pet fleas often infest the animal's basket, kennel, and resting areas, such as carpets and soft furnishings. These should be treated in the event of a severe infestation and at the start of control measures, using a suitable insecticide and vacuuming regularly. Fleas can, however, be eaten by individual ticks or bites from individual sandflies or mosquitoes. Therefore, in case of short-term travel (less than 4 weeks in endemic areas), it is recommended to apply the treatment immediately before the expected exposure. For longer periods of exposure (animals living in endemic areas or staying there for periods longer than 4 weeks), the treatment schedule must be based on epidemiological information. Animals must be accurately weighed before treatment. The safety of the product has not been established in dogs less than 12 weeks of age or weighing less than 1.5 kg. Care must be taken to avoid contact of the contents of the pipette with the eyes or mouth of the dogs to be treated. In particular, oral ingestion due to licking of the application site by the animal and by animals in contact should be avoided. This product is extremely toxic to cats and could be fatal due to the peculiar physiology of cats, which is unable to metabolize certain compounds including permethrin. In case of accidental skin exposure, wash the cat with shampoo. or soap. To prevent cats from being accidentally exposed to the product, keep treated dogs away from cats after treatment until the application site is dry. It is important to prevent cats from licking the application site of a dog treated with this product. Do not use on cats or rabbits.
