Dosage and method of administration: The general dose is 7.5 mg fipronil per 1 kg of animal body weight, i.e. in practice 3 ml of the product or 6 presses of the application pump per 1 kg of animal body weight for a 100 ml package, or 2 presses of the head per 1 kg of animal body weight for a 250 ml package.

Instructions for correct administration:From a distance of 10 - 20 cm, spray the entire surface of the animal's body in the direction against the hair, usually while using a brush or comb (all hair should be evenly moistened with the product so that the product can penetrate to the skin). To treat the head and area around the eyes, spray the product onto a moistened glove and gently rub into the hair - do not spray into the eyes. Let the product dry under normal temperature conditions.

Protection against flea re-infestation lasts up to 90 days in dogs and approximately 6 weeks in cats. Protection against ticks lasts up to 5 weeks in dogs and up to 4 weeks in cats.
Ticks are killed within 48 hours, before they can fully absorb and potentially transmit the disease (e.g. Lyme disease). Killed ticks most often fall off or can be removed manually. However, individual ticks may become attached, so transmission of infectious diseases cannot be completely ruled out if conditions are unfavorable. Due to the absence of safety studies, the minimum interval between individual treatments is 4 weeks.

Withdrawal period: Not intended for food-producing animals.
