Imidacloprid (10%), Moxidectin (1%)

Imoxi® Topical Solution should be applied as directed by your veterinarian. This medication should be applied once a month by topical administration.

Remove one dose applicator tube from the package. As specified in the table (on the MFG insert), administer the entire contents of the IMOXI™ Topical Solution for Cats tube that correctly corresponds with the body weight of the cat. Cats over 18 lbs. should be treated with the appropriate combination of IMOXI™ Topical Solution for Cats tubes.

While holding the Twist•N•Go™ tube in an upright position, twist dispensing tip clockwise about 1/2 turn to break the tube's seal. Remove the cap from the tube.

Part the hair on the back of the cat's neck at the base of the head, until the skin is visible.

Place the tip of the tube on the skin and apply the entire contents directly on the exposed skin. Lift the tube away from the skin before releasing pressure on the tube.

Do not get this product in the cat's mouth or eyes or allow the cat to lick the application site for 30 minutes. Treatment at the base of the head will minimize the opportunity for ingestion by grooming. In households with multiple pets, keep animals separated to prevent licking of the application site.

Apply the dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double dose or apply two doses at one time. If your pet has missed a dose, please consult your veterinarian.

Imoxi®Topical Solution is generally well tolerated in cats when given at the usual dose. Stiff, matted hair or a damp, oily appearance of the hair may be observed at the application site on some cats. This is temporary and does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the product.

In some cases, the following side effects have been reported after use: hypersalivation, depression/lethargy, application site reactions (alopecia, pruritus, lesions, and erythema), decreased appetite, vomiting, hyperactivity, ataxia, trembling, and behavioral changes (hiding). 

Cats may experience hypersalivation, tremors, vomiting and decreased appetite if IMOXI™ Topical Solution for Cats is inadvertently administered orally or through grooming/licking of the application site.

Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.

There are no documented drug or food interactions with this medication. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.

Ensure your veterinarian is aware of all medications and/or supplements you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, even if a potential drug interaction may occur. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely.

For topical use in cats only. Do not apply to irritated skin. Avoid oral ingestion.

Do not use on sick, debilitated, or underweight cats. Do not use on cats less than 9 weeks of age or less than 2 lbs. body weight.
