Large Cat >6.25-12.5kg (500mg Fluralaner, 25mg Moxidectin)
Warnings:
Ticks and fleas need to start feeding on the host to become exposed to fluralaner; therefore the risk of
the transmission of parasite borne diseases cannot be excluded.
Cats in areas endemic for heartworm (or those which have travelled to endemic areas) may be infected
with adult heartworms. No therapeutic effect against adult Dirofilaria immitis has been established. It
is therefore recommended, in accordance with good veterinary practice, that animals of 6 months of
age or older and living in areas where a vector exists, should be tested for existing adult heartworm
infections before application of the veterinary medicinal product for the prevention of heartworm
disease.
For the prevention of heartworm disease in cats that are only temporarily in endemic areas, the
product should be applied before the first expected exposure to mosquitoes and should be continued at
12-week intervals until return to a non-endemic area. The period between treatment and return from
the endemic areas should not exceed 60 days.
For the treatment of infections with ear mites the need for, and the frequency of, re-treatment as well as the choice of the treatment should be evaluated by the prescribing veterinarian.
