Imidacloprid (10%), Moxidectin (2.5%)

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 Dogs tube that correctly corresponds with the body weight of the dog. Dogs over 110 lbs. should be treated with the appropriate combination of IMOXI™ Topical Solution for Dogs 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.

The dog should be standing for application. Position the dispensing tip on the dog's back between the shoulder blades. The dispensing tip of the tube can be used to part the dog's hair until the skin is visible.

For dogs weighing 20 lbs. or less, place the tip of the tube on the skin and apply the entire contents directly on the exposed skin at one spot between the shoulder blades. For dogs weighing more than 20 lbs., place the tip of the tube on the skin and apply the entire contents directly on the exposed skin at 3 or 4 spots on the top of the backline from the base of the neck to the upper back in an area inaccessible to licking. Do not apply an amount of solution at any one location that could run off the side of the dog.

Do not let this product get in your dog's mouth or eyes. Do not allow the dog to lick any of the application sites for 30 minutes. In households with multiple pets, keep each treated dog separated from other treated dogs and other pets for 30 minutes after application to prevent licking the application sites.

Shampooing 90 minutes after treatment does not reduce the effectiveness of IMOXI™ Topical Solution for Dogs in the prevention of heartworm disease. Shampooing or water immersion 4 days after treatment will not reduce the effectiveness of IMOXI™ Topical Solution for Dogs in the treatment of flea infestations. However, shampooing as often as once weekly may reduce the effectiveness of the product against fleas.

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 dogs when administered at the usual dose. Stiff hair, a damp appearance of the hair, pink skin, or a slight powdery residue may be observed at the application site on some animals. This is temporary and does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the product.
