Directions for Use & Step-by-Step Administration Protocol

Strictly for external topical application on cats weighing between 2.6 kg and 7.6 kg:

Application Steps:

1. Weight Verification: Weigh the cat to confirm body weight falls within the 2.6 kg to 7.6 kg therapeutic bracket.

2. Pipette Preparation: Remove the tube from the blister pack. Hold the 0.75 ml tube upright and firmly press down on the cap until you hear a "click" (or snap the tip along the breakline) to puncture the internal seal. Remove the cap and verify the dispensing nozzle is open.

3. Application Site (Base of Skull): Part the fur high on the back of the cat's neck, right at the base of the skull in front of the shoulder blades, until the bare skin is clearly visible. Applying at the base of the skull ensures the cat cannot turn its head to groom or lick the wet liquid.

4. Direct Dermal Application: Place the tip directly against the skin. Squeeze the tube firmly 2 to 3 times to empty the entire 0.75 ml contents onto one single spot directly on the skin.

5. Release Pressure Before Lifting: Keep the tube squeezed while lifting it away from the skin to prevent the tube from sucking liquid back inside.

6. Air-Drying: Allow the site to dry naturally. Do not massage or rub the product into the skin. Keep treated cats separated from other household pets for 2 to 4 hours until the site is dry to prevent mutual grooming.

Bathing Protocol:

• Because Selamectin rapidly absorbs transdermally into systemic circulation, studies show that bathing or wetting the cat 24 to 48 hours after application does not reduce clinical efficacy. However, do not apply onto a wet or damp coat.

Safety Warnings, Precautions & Contraindications

• FELINE SPECIFIC FORMULATION: Do NOT apply this 6% cat formulation to dogs requiring higher canine concentrations, and never use dog spot-ons on cats.

• Age & Weight Restrictions: Do not use on kittens under 8 weeks of age or cats weighing less than 2.6 kg (use pediatric kitten micro-dose formulations for neonates).

• Avoid Broken Skin: Do not apply directly into open lacerations, weeping eczema, or inflamed ulcerated skin lesions.

• Transient Oral Reaction: If a cat manages to groom the application site while wet, the alcohol-based excipient can cause temporary hypersalivation (saliva foaming) due to the bitter taste. This is self-limiting and does not indicate systemic toxicosis; providing fresh water or palatable wet food helps clear the taste.

• Flammability Warning: Contains an alcoholic carrier vehicle. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, or hot surfaces until the application site has completely dried.

• Storage Instructions: Store at room temperature (below 30°C) in a dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep the tube in its protective pouch until immediately ready for use. Keep strictly out of reach of children and domestic pets.
