The gold standard of parasite control in dogs

Composition:
10% imidacloprid and 2.5% moxidectin.
Indications:
For dogs, for the treatment and prevention of mixed parasitic infestations:
- treatment and prevention of flea infestation (Ctenocephalides felis),
- treatment of ear mites (Otodectes cynotis),
- treatment of sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis),
- treatment of demodicosis (Demodex canis),
- prevention of heartworm disease (effective against L3 and L4 larvae of Dirofilaria immitis),
- treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal nematode infections (larvae (L4), immature and mature Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala, adult Toxascaris leonina and Trichuris vulpis).
The product can be used as one of the treatments for flea allergy dermatitis.

Dosage and administration:
The minimum therapeutic doses are 10 mg/kg of body weight of imidacloprid and 2.5 mg/kg of body weight of moxidectin, which is equivalent to 0.1 ml of Advocate per 1 kg of body weight for dogs.

Treatment and prevention of flea infestation.
A single treatment with the product prevents flea infestation for 4 weeks. When treating flea allergy dermatitis, the product should be used monthly.
Treatment of ear mites.
A single treatment with the product is required. Remove loose crusts from the outer ear. Do not apply directly into the ear canal. Some animals need additional treatment, so consult a vet 30 days after treatment.
Treatment of scabies (caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis)
Treatment is carried out twice with an interval of 4 weeks.
Treatment of demodicosis (caused by Demodex canis)
Advocate is used 2-4 times at intervals of 1 month. Where possible, concomitant diseases should be treated.
Prevention of heartworm disease
Dogs living in areas where heartworm is endemic, as well as those travelling to such areas, may become infested with adult heartworms.
To prevent heartworm disease, the product should be used monthly throughout the mosquito season. The product should be used all year round or according to the following scheme: start at least 1 month before the start of mosquito activity and finish 1-2 months after the end of their activity period.
Treatment and prevention of nematode infections.
Monthly treatment against heartworm (as a preventive programme) automatically reduces the possibility of reinfestation with nematodes, cestodes and hookworms.
Alternatively, the product is used as a seasonal treatment against fleas and gastrointestinal nematodes.
Directions for use:
For external use only. Remove one pipette from the pack. Hold the pipette upright and remove the cap. Turn the cap over and put it back on the pipette, thereby removing the protective foil from the pipette opening.
For dogs up to 25 kg:
The animal is treated while standing. Part the coat between the shoulder blades so that the skin is visible. The product is applied to undamaged skin. Place the narrow end of the pipette on the skin and squeeze the pipette firmly several times to apply the entire contents directly onto the skin.
For dogs weighing more than 25 kg:
For ease of treatment, the dog should be standing. The contents of the pipette should be applied at 3-4 points along the spine: starting between the shoulder blades and ending at the base of the tail. At each point, part the coat so that the skin is visible. Apply the product to undamaged skin where possible. Place the narrow end of the pipette on the skin and squeeze it gently to apply the contents onto the skin in portions. Do not squeeze a large amount of the product onto one spot, as the solution may run down from the application site.
The product is approved for use in pregnant and lactating females.

Contraindications:
Do not use in puppies under 7 weeks of age. Treatment of animals weighing less than 1 kg, sick and weakened animals should take place under the supervision of a vet.
Side effects:

After application, dogs may experience brief itching. In rare cases, greasy coat, skin erythema or vomiting may occur. All these effects disappear quickly without additional treatment. If the animal licks the applied product, nervous signs may sometimes occur. Advocate tastes bitter, so animals that lick the product may sometimes salivate. This is not a sign of intoxication; all symptoms disappear within a few minutes without intervention. Correct application minimises the possibility of licking the product.

Precautions:
Wash your hands after treating the animal. Do not use other macrocyclic lactones during treatment with the product.

Useful information:
Do not allow the animal into open water for 4 days after treatment. Bathing does not reduce the effectiveness of the product, but frequent use of immersion products (including shampoos) may reduce the effectiveness of Advocate.

Storage conditions and shelf life:
Store at a temperature not above 30° C.
Packaging: pipettes packed in blisters of 3 pieces.
