Description:
Indications: Treatment and prevention of fleas. Larval flea stages are killed in the surroundings of Advocate treated pets. Reduces the incidence of flea allergy dermatitis.
Prevention of heartworm, Control of roundworms including larval and immature adult stages; hookworms including larval and immature adult stages of all species. Treatment and control of ear mites in cats and kittens.
One application lasts up to a month.
Precautions: Use with caution in sick, debilitated or underweight animals. Advocate may be safely applied to heartworm infected cats and therefore there is no absolute requirement for a heartworm test before commencing treatment. However, a diagnostic test for heartworm prior to commencement of treatment is recommended to ensure the optimum health of cats. Take care to avoid the product coming into contact with the eyes or mouth of the animal. Ingestion by the recipient or in-contact animals should be prevented.
Advocate has no strong chemical smell. The liquid vehicle in Advocate may discolour certain surfaces and fabrics. Exclude the animal from contact with such surfaces for 15 minutes after treatment.
Safety directions. Harmful if swallowed. Will damage the eyes. Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. Avoid contact with the eyes. Wash hands after use.
First aid. If product in eyes, wash it out immediately with water.
Directions for use: Imidacloprid 10 mg/kg; moxidectin 1 mg/kg. Apply monthly. Two pack sizes covers cats of all bodyweights.
Dose. Cats and kittens less than or equal to 4 kg. 1 tube from orange pack applied in a single spot on the back of the head. Cats > 4 kg. 1 tube from violet pack applied in a single spot on the back of the head. Kittens. Kittens may be treated with Advocate from 9 weeks of age. If kittens younger than 9 weeks require flea control they may be safely treated with Advantage for Cats. For control of roundworms and hookworms, kittens require worming at 6 and 8 weeks of age. When worming kittens prior to commencing Advocate, use a specific worming agent such as Drontal. Once treatment with Advocate every month is commenced worms will be continuously controlled.
Flea control and prevention. Advocate has been shown to kill adult and larval fleas within 20 minutes of contact by absorption via the flea intersegmental membranes, and stops fleas from feeding in three to five minutes. Fleas are not required to bite the animal to receive a lethal dose. The successive feeding activity of fleas on pets may elicit a hypersensitivity skin disorder known as flea allergy dermatitis. Treatment of pets with Advocate rapidly kills fleas and reduces the incidence of this condition.
Advocate may be used as the only product for flea control, as it breaks the flea life cycle and kills fleas emerging from the environment to reinfest the cat. More rapid resolution of heavy environmental infestations may be obtained by additional environmental control measures using a suitable registered product. It is recommended that all cats in the same environment should be protected by Advocate for Cats and all dogs with Advocate for Dogs.
Heartworm prevention. Treatment with Advocate should start one month before the first exposure to mosquitoes. Advocate must be applied at one month intervals during the time of the year when mosquitoes (which carry and transmit the heartworm larvae) are present. In many areas of Australia, continuous, year round heartworm prevention is recommended. To establish a routine, it is recommended that the same day or date be used each month to administer Advocate. When replacing another heartworm preventive product, the first treatment with Advocate must be given within one month of the last dose of the previous product.
Worm control and prevention. Advocate controls the major gastrointestinal nematodes of cats but does not control tapeworms. In order to control these worms use Drontal or Droncit as appropriate. Cats can become reinfested with worms but regular use of Advocate will remove them.
Treatment and control of ear mites. Advocate is highly efficacious as a single dose for the treatment of ear mites (Otodectes cynotis). Monthly application of Advocate will control any subsequent ear mite infestation.
Advocate remains efficacious following shampoo treatment, swimming or exposure to rain.
