In the absence of available data, the veterinary medicinal product should not be used in puppies less than 8 weeks of age and/or weighing less than 2 kg.
Do not use in sick (eg systemic disease, fever) or convalescent animals.
Do not use in rabbits, as adverse reactions including death could occur.
In the absence of studies, use of the veterinary medicinal product in species other than the target species is not recommended.

Special warnings for each target species
Bathing or immersion in water should be avoided for 2 days after application of the veterinary medicinal product as well as bathing more frequently than once a week as no studies have been conducted to investigate how this affects the efficacy of the veterinary medicinal product. Emollient shampoos can be used prior to treatment, but reduce the duration of flea protection to approximately 5 weeks when used weekly after application of the veterinary medicinal product. Weekly baths with a 2% chlorhexidine medicated shampoo did not affect efficacy against fleas in a 6-week study.
Dogs should not be allowed to swim in waterways for 2 days after application. (See section 6.6).
There may be an adhesion of some ticks. For this reason, the transmission of infectious diseases cannot be completely excluded if conditions are unfavorable.
Pet fleas often infest the animal's baskets, beds, and habitual resting areas, such as carpets and soft furnishings, which should be treated in the case of massive infestation and at the start of control measures, with a suitable insecticide and vacuumed regularly.
Other pets present in the same household should also be treated with a suitable veterinary medicinal product.

After administration, excessive salivation, reversible nervous signs (increased sensitivity to stimulation, depression, other nervous signs), vomiting or respiratory symptoms have also been observed.
The frequency of adverse reactions should be classified according to the following groups:
- Very frequently (more than 1 animal for every 10 animals treated presents adverse reactions)
- Frequently (more than 1 but less than 10 animals per 100 animals treated)
- Infrequently (more than 1 but less than 10 animals per 1,000 animals treated)
- Rarely (more than 1 but less than 10 animals per 10,000 animals treated)
- On very rare occasions (less than 1 animal per 10,000 animals treated, including isolated cases).
In case of licking at the point of application, a brief period of excessive salivation may be observed, mainly due to the nature of the excipient.

Dosage and route of administration
Route of administration and dose:
spot anointing
One pipette of 0.67 ml per dog from more than 2 kg to 10 kg, corresponds to the minimum recommended dose of 6.7 mg/kg of fipronil and 6 mg/kg of (S)-methoprene, by topical application on the fur.
In the absence of safety studies, the minimum treatment interval is 4 weeks.
Administration method:
Hold the pipet in an upright position. Tap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure that the contents are in the main part of the pipette. Open the tip. Part the animal's fur on the back, at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze the pipette several times until its contents are completely emptied directly onto the skin in a single point.
Temporary changes in the coat (sticky, greasy hair) have been observed at the point of application.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
No adverse reactions have been observed in safety studies conducted in the target species, in puppies from 8 weeks of age, growing dogs, and dogs weighing approximately 2 kg treated once at five times the recommended dose. The risk of adverse reactions (see section 4.6) may however be increased when overdosed, therefore animals should always be treated with the correct pipette size corresponding to their body weight.
