Lapushka

Important safety and use flags

• DO NOT USE ON CATS OR KITTENS. VetMan found no exact-product feline authorisation from an internationally recognised regulator. Keep cats away from the concentrate, bath water, wet lather, towels and the treated dog until the coat has been completely rinsed and dried; suspected exposure requires immediate veterinary advice.
• Confirm the ectoparasite and burden before treatment. A rinse-off shampoo is not a substitute for a persistent flea programme, and repeated empirical use without examining the animal and environment can miss reinfestation, another parasite or dermatologic disease.
• Weigh the dog and apply 0.5-1 ml/kg to a fully wetted coat, lather evenly, maintain contact for 7-10 minutes, then rinse completely, dry and comb. Do not repeat more often than every 10 days.
• Do not use below two months of age. Do not transfer this threshold to another permethrin product; concentration, cis:trans ratio, excipients and rinse-off instructions are formulation-specific.
• Do not use during pregnancy or lactation, or in sick, weakened, emaciated, infectious or convalescent animals where excluded by the exact label. Stabilise and diagnose the patient before ectoparasiticide exposure.
• Prevent licking and contact with the eyes, mouth or other mucosa throughout bathing. Rinse immediately after accidental mucosal exposure; salivation, vomiting, tremor, twitching, ataxia, hyperaesthesia or seizure requires urgent decontamination and veterinary assessment.
• Do not combine with another insecticide or acaricide unless compatibility and timing are explicitly established. Apparent failure should trigger confirmation of dose, contact time, rinsing, parasite identity and environmental control rather than interval shortening or product stacking.
• Treat bedding and the household environment when fleas are present and ensure every in-contact animal receives a species-appropriate product. Shampoo removes or kills parasites on the animal at treatment but cannot eliminate environmental eggs, larvae and pupae or guarantee durable protection.
• Permethrin is hazardous to aquatic organisms and the exact labels warn of toxicity to fish, with some also naming bees. Keep concentrate and rinse water out of drains, ponds and watercourses, use gloves when appropriate, wash hands after treatment and dispose of residue and packaging safely.
