Usage: *For complete product information, please review the full prescribing information in the manufacturer package insert. BRAVECTO Topical Solution for Cats should be applied topically as directed by your veterinarian. Manufacturer Dosage and Administration: Bravecto Topical Solution should be administered topically as a single dose every 12 weeks according to your cat's body weight to provide a minimum dose of 18.2 mg⁄lb (40 mg⁄kg) body weight. Bravecto Topical Solution may be administered every 8 weeks in case of potential exposure to Dermacentor variabilis (American dog ticks). A veterinarian or veterinary technician should demonstrate or instruct the pet owner regarding the appropriate technique for applying Bravecto topically to cats prior to first use. Step 1: Immediately before use, open the pouch and remove the tube. Put on gloves. Hold the tube at the crimped end with the cap in an upright position (tip up). The cap should be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise one full turn. The cap is designed to stay on the tube for dosing and should not be removed. The tube is open and ready for application whena breaking of the seal is felt. Step 2: The cat should be standing or lying with its back horizontal during application. Part the fur at the administration site. Place the tube tip vertically against the skin at the base of the skull of the cat. Step 3: Squeeze the tube and gently apply the entire contents of Bravecto directly to the skin at the base of the skull of the cat. Avoid applying an excessive amount of solution that could cause some of the solution to run and drip off of the cat. If a second spot is needed to avoid runoff, then apply the second spot slightly behind the first spot. Greasy, oily, or wet appearance may occur at the application site in some cats. Treatment with Bravecto may begin at any time of the year and can continue year–round without interruption.
Missed Doses: If a dose is missed: apply BRAVECTO Topical Solution as soon as you remember, then wait for the full prescribed dosing interval prior to administering the next dose. Do not apply two doses at once. If you have questions about your pet's prescribed dosing schedule (e.g., timing, interval), please consult your veterinarian.

The most common side effects of this medication are application site reactions (e.g., hair loss, redness, irritation), vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, itching, salivation (drooling), and drowsiness⁄lethargy.
