Step-by-Step Directions for Use & Application Protocol

Strictly for external topical application on cats and kittens 8 weeks of age and older:

Application Steps:

1. Accurate Assessment: Confirm the cat or kitten is at least 8 weeks old and weighs a minimum of 1 kg.

2. Pipette Preparation: Remove the 0.5 ml pipette from the blister packaging. Hold the pipette upright facing away from your face and tap the narrow neck to ensure all fluid is down in the body of the pipette. Snap off the tip along the scored breakline.

3. Targeted Location (Crucial for Cats): Part the fur high on the back of the cat's neck at the base of the skull until the bare skin is clearly visible. Applying at the base of the skull prevents the cat from being able to reach and lick the wet solution during normal grooming.

4. Direct Dermal Application: Place the pipette tip directly onto the skin surface. Squeeze the pipette firmly several times to empty the entire 0.5 ml volume directly onto one single spot on the skin.

5. Avoid Fur Soaking: Ensure the liquid contacts the skin directly rather than wetting the outer fur coat to prevent unnecessary runoff.

6. Air-Drying & Multi-Cat Households: Allow the area to air-dry naturally. Do not touch, rub, or brush the site until completely dry. If you have multiple cats in the household, separate them for 4 to 6 hours after application to prevent mutual grooming until the spot is dry.

The 48-Hour Bathing Rule:

• Do NOT bathe the cat 48 hours prior to application.

• Do NOT bathe, wet, or shampoo the cat for 48 hours following application.

• Clinical Reason: Water and shampoos strip the epidermal lipid film and sebum required for Fipronil and (S)-Methoprene to migrate across the entire body and embed into sebaceous glands.

Safety Warnings, Precautions & Contraindications

• STRICT CONTRAINDICATION IN RABBITS: Never use this product on pet rabbits, guinea pigs, or small rodents. Fipronil can cause severe neurotoxicity, convulsions, and sudden death in lagomorphs.

• Species-Specific Pipette Use: Do not use dog-sized pipettes (0.67 ml, 1.34 ml, 2.68 ml, or 4.02 ml) on cats. Dosing must remain strictly within the 0.5 ml feline-calibrated volume.

• Oral Ingestion Notice: If a cat grooms the application site before it has dried, the bitter taste of the vehicle may induce transient hypersalivation (frothing/drooling) and temporary agitation. This is an adverse gustatory reaction rather than systemic poisoning; offer fresh drinking water or a small amount of palatable wet food to clear the taste.

• Damaged Skin: Do not apply directly onto open lacerations, weeping wounds, or severe ulcerated eczema.

• Storage Instructions: Store below 30°C in a dry place away from heat, open flames, and direct sunlight. Keep the pipette sealed in its foil pouch until ready to use. Keep strictly out of reach of children and domestic pets.
