Comfortis™ is a no-fuss, no-mess way to protect cats from fleas for the whole month. These convenient, chewable beef flavoured tablets provide fast-acting and lasting month long relief. Fleas can be a major problem for cats and their owners. These blood-sucking parasites cause considerable discomfort for pets, leading to scratching, chewing, biting and restlessness.
Comfortis™ rapidly kills fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and is intended for the treatment, prevention and control of flea infestations and for the control of flea allergy dermatitis in cats for one month following a single administration. Comfortis™ is not recommended for use in kittens less than 14 weeks of age.
Concurrent use of Comfortis™ with high off-label doses of ivermectin for parasitic mange or demodecosis has been associated with an increased risk of developing neurological signs typically associated with ivermectin toxicity. Comfortis™ should not be administered concurrently with high doses of macrocyclic lactones.
Comfortis™ is recommended for use in cats 14 weeks of age or older. Comfortis™ tablets are given orally, once a month at the recommended minimum dosage of 50 mg/kg body weight for cats, as specified in the following table:
