Johnsons 4fleas Tablets For Larger Dogs

Johnson’s 4fleas Tablets for Larger Dogs are an oral treatment for adult flea infestations in dogs over 11kg. Each tablet contains nitenpyram 57mg. Effects on fleas may be seen as soon as 15 minutes after administration, with complete efficacy against adult fleas reached within 24 hours according to the authorised product information.

Available in packs of three or six tablets. As an oral treatment, it leaves no topical treatment residue on your dog’s coat.

Dose and administration

Weigh your dog before treatment. For dogs weighing 11.1–57kg, give one tablet per treatment. For dogs weighing more than 57kg, give two tablets together per treatment. The published dosing chart starts at 11.1kg; ask your vet about any weight not clearly covered rather than estimating.

Give by mouth, with or without food. Tablets may be disguised in a small portion of food immediately before administration. Give one treatment on a day when fleas are seen, repeating on subsequent days if necessary according to the packaging. Do not give more than one treatment per day. One treatment may require two tablets for dogs over 57kg, so pack size does not always equal the number of treatments.

Managing reinfestation

These tablets kill adult fleas but do not have persistent activity. They do not provide lasting protection or directly treat ticks, flea eggs or larvae. Ask your vet about an appropriate flea-control programme, including suitable products to control immature flea stages.

Vacuum bedding and regular resting areas, wash or change pet bedding, and use suitable household treatments according to their instructions. Treat other pets with products appropriate to their species and weight.

Precautions

For dogs only. Follow the supplied packaging’s suitability and dosing instructions. The authorised information permits use during pregnancy and lactation. No known interactions are listed, and compatibility with commonly used veterinary medicines has been demonstrated, but ask your vet when planning a combined treatment programme.

Your dog may scratch more during the first hour as fleas react to the treatment. Very rare reported reactions include temporary hyperactivity, panting, vocalisation, excessive grooming or licking, muscle tremors, lack of coordination and convulsions. Contact your vet if serious or unexpected effects occur, or if signs of illness persist or appear.

Storage

Do not store above 25°C. Keep the container in the outer carton and out of the sight and reach of children. Do not use after expiry. Always read the supplied packaging before use and follow its disposal instructions.
