Indications for use, specifying the target species
For the treatment and prevention of infestations by fleas (
Ctenocephalides canis and C. felis
), and
ticks (
Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes hexagonus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor reticulatus and
Dermacentor variabilis
), and treatment of demodicosis (caused by
Demodex
spp
.
) and lice
(
Trichodectes canis
) in dogs. The veterinary medicinal product can be used as part of a treatment
strategy for flea allergy dermatitis (FAD).
Do not administer to puppies under 8 weeks of age.
Do not administer to cats
Do not administer to sick or debilitated dogs or dogs suffering from heat stress.
Avoid contact with the eyes of the dog and avoid oral ingestion by the dog.
The veterinary medicinal product remains effective if the animal becomes wet. However, prolonged,
intense exposure to water should be avoided. Dogs should be prevented from accessing streams and
rivers for the 24-hour period following treatment. In cases of frequent water exposure the duration of
activity may be reduced. In these cases do not treat more frequently than once a fortnight. If the dog
requires shampooing, it is better to do so before applying the veterinary medicinal product.
For optimum control of flea problems in a multi-pet household, all pets in the household should be
treated with a suitable insecticide. In addition it is recommended to treat the environment with a
suitable insecticide.
4.5 Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals
For use only under the supervision of a veterinary surgeon.
This veterinary medicinal product is for spot-on application only. Do not administer orally or via any
other route.
It is important to apply the dose to an area where the animal cannot lick it off and to make sure that
animals do not lick each other following treatment.
Do not allow puppies to lick the application site of their mothers when it is still wet.
Care should be taken to ensure that the content of the pipette or the applied dose does not come into
contact with the eyes or mouth of the recipient and/or other animals.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to
animals
Keep out of reach and sight of children. Stored pipettes must be kept in the intact foil package. This
product should not be administered by children.
This product contains amitraz, which can lead to adverse neurological effects in humans and
especially in children. Children should not have access to used pipettes. Used pipettes should be
disposed of immediately.
Amitraz is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MOAI); therefore, people taking MOAI-containing
medication should take particular care when handling this product.
Avoid direct contact with treated animals until the application site is dry. Children should not be
allowed to have contact with treated animals until the application site is dry. Recently treated animals
should not be allowed to sleep with the owners, especially children.
ProMeris Duo contains
components that, on very rare occasions, can cause respiratory irritation in certain people. To
minimise the potential for inhalation, it is recommended that the product is applied in open air or in
well ventilated rooms.
This product may cause skin sensitisation and allergic reactions in humans. Dermal exposure to the
product should therefore be avoided. The use of protective gloves while handling the product is
recommended.
If ill effects are noted following exposure to the product, seek immediate medical assistance, and show
the product packaging to the physician.
Wash hands thoroughly after use. In case of accidental spillage onto skin, wash off immediately with
soap and water.
This product may cause mild eye irritation. If the product accidentally gets into eyes, they should be
thoroughly flushed with water.
Do not smoke, drink or eat while handling the product.
4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Known side-effects of amitraz and metabolites, such as sedation, lethargy, CNS depression,
hyperglycaemia, bradycardia and slow, shallow breathing may be observed in a small number of
animals. Most of these signs are due to alpha-2-adreno-receptor agonist effects. Signs are usually
transitory and generally resolved without treatment within 24 hours. If symptoms are severe or persist
the alpha-2-adreno-receptor antagonist atipamezole hydrochloride may be used at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg
bodyweight by intramuscular injection to reverse these side-effects.
Hypersalivation may occur if the animal licks the application site immediately after treatment. This is
not a sign of intoxication and disappears within minutes without treatment. Correct application will
minimise licking of the application site.
The application of the veterinary medicinal product may produce a local, temporary oily appearance
and clumping or spiking of the hair at the application site. A dry residue may also be observed. This is
normal and will generally resolve within a few days after administration, though may persist longer on
rare occasions. These changes do not affect the safety or efficacy of the veterinary medicinal product.
In rare cases, transient irritation may occur at the site of product application. In very rare cases
temporary local hair loss may occur.
4.7 Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Can be used during pregnancy and lactation.
4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
None known.
Treatment with other products containing amitraz is not recommended whilst the dog is being treated
with ProMeris Duo Spot-On for Dogs.
4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route
The recommended minimum dose is 20 mg/kg bodyweight for each of metaflumizone and amitraz,
equivalent to 0.133ml/kg bodyweight. The following table defines the size of pipette to be used
according to the weight of the dog.
ProMeris Duo for Small Dogs
ProMeris Duo Medium Sized Dogs
ProMeris Duo for Medium/Large Sized Dogs
ProMeris Duo for Large Dogs
ProMeris Duo for Extra Large Dogs
For dogs more than 50 kg, use a combination of two pipettes that most closely matches the body
weight.
Method of administration:
For external use only. Spot-on use.
Remove the pipette from the package.
Hold the pipette upright, bend the tip of the pipette to break the
tip along the scored line.
The top of the tip will fold back against the pipette.
Part the hair and apply the contents of the pipette to a single spot on the skin of the dog at the base of
the skull.
Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze the pipette to empty the entire contents.
Do not apply the veterinary medicinal product to the surface of the dog’s hair coat.
For optimal control of flea and/or tick infestation the product should be administered at monthly
intervals throughout the flea and/or tick season, or the treatment schedule can be based on the local
epidemiological situation. Kills most ticks within 48 hours. For treatment of biting lice a single dose
should be sufficient. Most lice are killed within 7 days.
For treatment of demodicosis, the product should be administered at monthly intervals until clinical
signs resolve. Where possible, treatment should not be discontinued until skin scrapings are negative
on at least two monthly occasions. As demodicosis is a multi-factorial disease, where possible, it is
advisable to also treat any underlying disease appropriately.
The veterinary medicinal product will prevent flea infestation for up to 6 weeks and tick infestation for
4 weeks following a single administration.
4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
No adverse effects were observed in healthy dogs and puppies aged 8 weeks and older treated 7 times
at two-week intervals with 3-5 times the recommended dose. The risk of experiencing adverse effects
may however increase when overdosing, so animals should always be treated with the correct pipette
size according to body weight.
Known side-effects of amitraz and metabolites are sedation, lethargy, CNS depression,
hyperglycaemia, bradycardia and slow, shallow breathing. Most of these signs are due to alpha-2-
adreno-receptor agonist effects. Signs are usually transitory and generally resolved without treatment
within 24 hours. If symptoms are severe or persist the alpha-2-adreno-receptor antagonist atipamezole
hydrochloride may be used at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg bodyweight by intramuscular injection to reverse
these side-effects.
PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1
Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group:
Metaflumizone is an insecticide belonging to the semicarbazone group of compounds. Metaflumizone
is a sodium channel antagonist and disrupts nerve function resulting in paralysis and death of insects.
Amitraz is a formamidine acaricide. It acts at octopamine receptor sites in ectoparasites giving rise to
increased nervous activity and death of insects.
Metaflumizone and amitraz are combined in the final formulation to provide a broad spectrum of
activity against both fleas and ticks, respectively, due to non-systemic exposure of the parasites on the
skin and hair. Maximum efficacy is achieved within 48 hours.
5.2
Pharmacokinetic particulars
After topical administration at a single site at the base of the skull, both metaflumizone and amitraz
were rapidly distributed throughout the surface of the skin. Maximum concentrations in the hair were
generally reached between 2 to 7 days post treatment and gradually declined through 56 days post
treatment. Both components were still measurable in the hair 56 days following treatment.
After topical administration at a single site at the base of the skull, both metaflumizone and amitraz
levels in plasma were too low to allow the calculation of standard pharmacokinetic parameters.

Known side-effects of amitraz and metabolites, such as sedation, lethargy, CNS depression,
hyperglycaemia, bradycardia and slow, shallow breathing may be observed in a small number of
animals.
Most of these signs are due to alpha-2-adreno-receptor agonist effects.
Signs are usually
transitory and generally resolved without treatment within 24 hours. If symptoms are severe or persist
the alpha-2-adreno-receptor antagonist atipamezole hydrochloride may be used at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg
bodyweight by intramuscular injection to reverse these side-effects.
Hypersalivation may occur if the animal licks the application site immediately after treatment. This is
not a sign of intoxication and disappears within minutes without treatment. Correct application will
minimise licking of the application site.

The veterinary medicinal product will prevent flea infestation for up to 6 weeks and tick infestation for
4 weeks following a single administration.
ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION
For use only under the supervision of a veterinary supervision.
This veterinary medicinal product is for spot-on application only. Do not administer orally or via any
other route.
It is important to apply the dose to an area where the animal cannot lick it off and to make sure that
animals do not lick each other following treatment.
Do not allow puppies to lick the application site of their mothers when it is still wet.
Care should be taken to ensure that the content of the pipette or the applied dose does not come into
contact with the eyes or mouth of the recipient and/or other animals.
The veterinary medicinal product remains effective if the animal becomes wet. However, prolonged,
intense exposure to water should be avoided. Dogs should be prevented from accessing streams and
rivers for the 24-hour period following treatment. In cases of frequent water exposure the duration of
activity may be reduced. In these cases do not treat more frequently than once a fortnight. If the dog
requires shampooing, it is better to do so before applying the veterinary medicinal product.
For optimum control of flea problems in a multi-pet household, all pets in the household should be
treated with a suitable insecticide. In addition it is recommended to treat the environment with a
suitable insecticide.
11. SPECIAL STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

Do not store above 25 °C.
Do not use after the expiry date stated on the carton after “EXP”.
Keep out of reach and sight of children. Stored pipettes must be kept in the intact foil package. This
product should not be administered by children.
This product contains amitraz, which can lead to adverse neurological effects in humans and
especially in children. Children should not have access to used pipettes. Used pipettes should be
disposed of immediately.
Amitraz is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MOAI); therefore, people taking MOAI-containing
medication should take particular care when handling this product.
Avoid direct contact with treated animals until the application site is dry. Children should not be
allowed to have contact with treated animals until the application site is dry. Recently treated animals
