Directions for use and Dosage
To be used as a spot-on only. Open the sachet and remove the pipette. For easier application, the animal should be kept standing. With one hand, hold the pipette vertically, away from the face, and break the upper end of the pipette to open it, bending it and folding it back on itself. Part the hair until the skin is visible and place the tip of the pipette directly on the dog's skin, applying the product according to the following instructions:
- Dogs weighing between 2.5 kg and 14 kg: 1 pipette of 1 ml, equivalent to a maximum permethrin dose of 286 mg/kg (2.5 kg dogs) and a minimum of 51 mg/kg (14 kg dogs). Squeeze the pipette firmly until the entire contents are emptied directly onto the skin of the back, in the area between the shoulder blades, taking care not to let the product drip onto the fur.
- Dogs weighing between 15 and 29 kg: 2 pipettes of 1 ml, equivalent to a maximum permethrin dose of 95.3 mg/kg (15 kg dogs) and a minimum of 49.3 mg/kg (29 kg dogs), or, alternatively, 1 pipette of 2 ml. Squeeze the pipettes firmly until the entire contents are emptied directly onto the skin of the back. Apply the contents of the individual pipettes to two different points along the dorsal line, one between the two shoulder blades and the other on the rump region, at the base of the tail, taking care not to let the product drip onto the fur.
- Dogs weighing between 30 and 40 kg: 3 pipettes of 1 ml, equivalent to a maximum permethrin dose of 71.5 mg/kg (30 kg dogs) and a minimum of 53.6 mg/kg (40 kg dogs). Squeeze the pipettes firmly until the entire contents are emptied directly onto the skin of the back. Apply the contents of the individual pipettes at three different points along the dorsal line, starting from the region delimited by the two shoulder blades up to the rump region, corresponding to the base of the tail, taking care not to drip the product onto the fur.
- Dogs weighing more than 41 kg up to 55 kg: 2 pipettes of 2 ml, equivalent to a maximum permethrin dose of 69.7 mg/kg (41 kg dogs) and a minimum of 52 mg/kg (55 kg dogs). Squeeze the pipettes firmly until the entire contents are emptied directly onto the skin of the back. Apply the contents of the individual pipettes to four different points along the dorsal line, starting from the region delimited by the two shoulder blades to the rump region, at the base of the tail, taking care not to drip the product onto the fur.
The interval between one treatment and the next will depend on the severity of the infestation and the parasite. Regular use of Exspot, at monthly intervals, eliminates ticks, sandflies, mosquitoes, flies, fleas, and lice and provides protection for up to 4 weeks against reinfestation. The use of non-medicated shampoos before applying Exspot does not negatively affect the effectiveness of the product. If the dog is bathed or sponged, the protection period is reduced, depending on the amount of water that comes into contact with the skin. Exspot can be applied at intervals of no less than 2 weeks, without causing side effects or symptoms of intoxication. To reduce reinfestations, it is recommended to treat all dogs in the household and all pets living in the same environment with a suitable product. Adequate environmental treatment against adult fleas and their developing stages (immature forms) is also recommended.
Warnings
Treated dogs should not enter water for 12 hours after treatment.
Contraindications
Do not use on puppies under 2 weeks of age. Do not use on cats. Avoid allowing cats to come into contact with recently treated dogs. Do not use on sick, convalescent animals or those with extensive skin lesions. Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or to any of the excipients.
Side effects
The active ingredient permethrin contained in the product can cause skin hypersensitivity phenomena such as itching, dermatitis, eczema, rashes, hair loss, and redness at the application site. These symptoms are often accompanied by hyperactivity in treated animals. In very rare cases, dogs may exhibit hypersalivation, gastrointestinal symptoms (decreased appetite, anorexia, diarrhea, vomiting), neurological symptoms (lethargy, incoordination, muscle tremors, disorientation, hyperesthesia, paresis, ataxia), and behavioral changes (restlessness, urinary incontinence, aggression). In such cases, it is advisable to thoroughly wash the animal (bath) and consult a veterinarian for appropriate treatment. The excipient contained in the product generally has good local tolerability and only in exceptional cases can it induce skin hypersensitivity.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Do not use on lactating bitches. Use on pregnant bitches only according to the risk/benefit assessment.
