Usage
Advantage 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.
Immediately before use, open the pouch and remove the tube. Hold the tube at the crimped end with the cap in the upright position (tip up). Remove the cap from the tube and turn the cap over and push the other end of the cap onto the tip of the tube.  Twist the cap to break the seal then remove the cap from the tube. Always keep the tube in the upright position to prevent leaking.
Part the fur on the back of the cat's neck at the base of the head, until skin is visible.  Place the tube vertically against the skin. Squeeze the tube and gently apply the solution in one spot. For the first 30 minutes after application ensure the cat cannot lick the product from application sites on themselves or other treated animals.
Do not contact or allow children to contact the application site until dry.  Wash hands and contacted skin thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application.
Missed Doses
Give 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.
Side Effects
Advantage Multi® Topical Solution is generally well tolerated in cats when given at the usual dose. Stiff hair, a damp appearance of the hair, or a powdery residue may be observed at the application site. There are very few side effects when the drug is given at the usual dose.  The following side effects have been reported with the use of Advantage Multi® Topical Solution: temporary hairloss and slight inflammation or scabs at or near the application site, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, lethargy, and itchiness.
Ensure that the cat does not ingest the product. Ingestion of this product may cause serious adverse reactions including depression, salivation, dilated pupils, incoordination, panting, and generalized muscle tremors.
Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.
Drug & Food Interactions
There are no documented drug interactions with this medication. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.
Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, even if a drug interaction may occur. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely.
Cautions
For topical use only. Avoid oral ingestion. For the first 30 minutes after application ensure the cat cannot lick the product from the application sites on themselves or other treated animals. Children should not come in contact with the application site for 2 hours after application. Product is highly flammable. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, or other sources of ignition. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.

Do not use in sick or debilitated ferrets.
