Usage
Parasedge Multi® Topical Solution should be applied as directed by your veterinarian. This medication should be administered at every 30 day intervals, year-round to guarantee complete protection. For cats over 18 lbs, use the appropriate combination of tubes to ensure complete protection.
Administer the entire contents of the tube that correctly corresponds with the body weight of the cat.
Use scissors to open the foil pack, taking care not to damage the tube inside. Remove one dose applicator tube from the foil pack and hold the tube in an upright position with the lot and expiration at the bottom.
Bend the tip back until it snaps off. If it doesn't snap off at first, cut it using scissors. Always keep the tube in the upright position to prevent leaking.
Part the hair on the back of the cat's neck at the base of the neck, in front of the shoulder blades, until the skin is visible.
Place the tip of the tube on the skin. Squeeze the tube firmly 3-4 times in one spot until empty. Keep tube compressed on the final squeeze to avoid drawing liquid back into the tube. Avoid contact between the solution and your fingers.
While keeping tube squeezed, drag it away from liquid and lift up to remove. Ensure tube is empty.
Do not contact or allow children to contact the application site until dry (30 minutes after application). Wash hands and contacted skin thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application.
Missed Doses
Administer the dose as soon as you remember, unless it is time for the next dose. Do not double dose. If your cat has missed a dose, please consult with your veterinarian.
