Selehold Spot On for Dogs & Cats contains Selamectin and is used for:
Cats and dogs:
•Treatment and prevention of flea infestations
caused by Ctenocephalides spp. for one month following a single administration. This is as a result of the adulticidal, larvicidal and ovicidal properties of the product. The product is ovicidal for 3 weeks after administration. Through a reduction in the flea population, monthly treatment of pregnant and lactating animals will also aid in the prevention of flea infestations in the litter up to seven weeks of age. The product can be used as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis and through its ovicidal and larvicidal action may aid in the control of existing environmental flea infestations in areas to which the animal has access.
•Prevention of heartworm disease
caused by Dirofilaria immitis with monthly administration. Selamectin may be safely administered to animals infected with adult heartworms, however, it is recommended, in accordance with good veterinary practice, that all animals 6 months of age or more living in countries where a vector exists should be tested for existing adult heartworm infections before beginning medication with selamectin. It is also recommended that dogs should be tested periodically for adult heartworm infections, as an integral part of a heartworm prevention strategy, even when the product has been administered monthly. This product is not effective against adult D. immitis.
•Treatment of ear mites (Otodectes cynotis).
Cats:
•Treatment of biting lice infestations (Felicola subrostratus)
•Treatment of adult roundworms (Toxocara cati)
•Treatment of adult intestinal hookworms (Ancylostoma tubaeforme)
Dogs:
•Treatment of biting lice infestations (Trichodectes canis)
•Treatment of sarcoptic mange (caused by Sarcoptes scabiei)
•Treatment of adult intestinal roundworms (Toxocara canis)
Contraindications:
- Do not use in animals under 6 weeks of age.
- Do not use in cats that are suffering from concomitant disease, or are debilitated and underweight (for size and age).
Special warnings for use in animals:
- Animals may be bathed 2 hours after treatment without loss of efficacy.
- Do not apply when the animal’s hair coat is wet. However, shampooing or soaking the animal 2 or more hours after treatment will not reduce the efficacy of the product.
- For ear mite treatment, do not apply directly to the ear canal.
- It is important to apply the dose as indicated to minimise the quantity that the animal can lick off. If significant licking does occur, a brief period of hypersalivation may rarely be observed in cats.
