FRONTLINE SPOT ON DOGS
Contra-indications,
warnings, etc
For
animal treatment only.
For external use only.
Animals should be weighed accurately prior to
treatment.
Do not use in rabbits, as adverse reactions and
even death could occur.
Flammable.
Animals or operators with a known
hypersensitivity to insecticides or alcohol
should avoid contact with FRONTLINE Spot On Dog.
In the absence of available data, the product
should not be used on puppies less than 8 weeks
old and/or weighing less than 2kg.
Do not use on sick (systemic diseases,
fever....) or convalescent animals.
This product is specifically developed for dogs.
Do not use in cats as this could lead to
overdosing.
Do not overdose.
It is important to apply the dose to an area
where the animal cannot lick it off, and to make
sure that animals do not lick each other
following treatment. If licking occurs, a brief
period of hypersalivation may occur, due mainly
to the nature of the carrier.
Among the extremely rare suspected adverse
reactions, transient cutaneous reactions at the
application site (skin discolouration, local
alopecia, pruritis, erythema) and general
pruritis or alopecia have been reported after
use. Exceptionally, hypersalivation, reversible
neurological signs (hyperaesthesia, depression,
nervous signs) or vomiting or respiratory signs
have been observed after use.
Dogs should not be allowed to swim in
watercourses for 2 days after application.
Operator warnings
The product can cause mucous membrane and eye
irritation and so contact with the mouth and
eyes should be avoided.
Avoid contents coming into contact with the
fingers. If this occurs, wash hands with soap
and water.
After accidental ocular exposure the eye should
be rinsed carefully with plain water.
Avoid contact with the animal's eyes.
Wash hands after use.
Do not smoke, eat or drink during application .
Treated animals should not be handled until the
application site is dry, and children should not
be allowed to play with treated animals until
the application site is dry. It is therefore
recommended that animals are not treated during
the day, but should be treated during the early
evening, and that recently treated animals
should not be allowed to sleep with owners,
especially children.
Ensure that treated animals do not groom each
other after treatment until dry.
Fipronil may adversely affect aquatic organisms.
Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches
with the product or empty containers. Dispose of
used packaging in the household refuse. Unused
product should be returned to the veterinary
surgeon

and up to 10 kg bodyweight (approximately 7.5 -
15 mg/kg).
1 pipette of 1.34 ml per dog weighing over 10 kg

Method of administration
Hold upright. Tap the narrow part of the pipette
to ensure the contents are within the main body
of the pipette. Break back the snap-off top of
the spot-on pipette along the scored line. Part
the coat between the shoulder blades until the
skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on
the skin and squeeze gently at one or two spots
to empty its contents onto the skin.
Care should be taken to avoid excessive wetting
of the hair with the product since this will
cause a sticky appearance of hairs at the
treatment spot. However, should this occur, it
will disappear within 24 hours post application.
