Credelio Chewable Tablets for Dogs 112mg (Pack of 6) Dogs (2.5 - 5.5kg)

Target species Dogs. Indications for use, specifying the target species For the treatment of flea and tick infestations in dogs. This veterinary medicinal product provides immediate and persistent killing activity for 1 month for fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and C. canis) and ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Ixodes ricinus, I. hexagonus and Dermacentor reticulatus). Fleas and ticks must attach to the host and commence feeding in order to be exposed to the active substance. The veterinary medicinal product can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Contraindications Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Special warnings for each target species Parasites need to start feeding on the host to become exposed to lotilaner; therefore the risk of the transmission of parasite borne diseases cannot be completely excluded.
