Seresikan – Antiparasitic collar for large dogs – 4,50 g / 2,03 g – over 8 kg – Clément Thékan

Seresikan large dog: antiparasitic protection for up to 8 months

Seresikan Clément Thékan 4,50 g/2,03 g is a 70 cm antiparasitic collar designed for dogs weighing more than 8 kg. It combines imidacloprid and flumethrin, two active substances that spread progressively over the skin and coat while the collar is worn.

This presentation targets dogs exposed to a risk of mixed infestations by several external parasites: fleas, ticks, lice and sandflies. The veterinary medicinal product is only indicated when simultaneous use against the parasites concerned is necessary.

Activity against fleas lasts for 7 to 8 months. For certain ticks, prevention of reinfestation can last up to 8 months. The collar must therefore remain in place continuously throughout the protection period.

Why choose the Seresikan collar for a dog weighing more than 8 kg?

The large dog presentation stands out with its 70 cm collar, suited to the neck size of dogs over 8 kg. Each collar weighs 45 g and contains:

• 4.50 g of imidacloprid;
• 2.03 g of flumethrin.

The active substances are gradually released by the collar. They then spread over the skin surface and the coat.

Seresikan acts against the fleas Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis. Its insecticidal activity lasts 7 to 8 months. It also helps prevent the development of flea larvae in the dog's immediate environment for 8 months.

It also acts on the chewing lice Trichodectes canis.

Action against several tick species

The collar helps prevent new infestations by several ticks found on dogs.

It has an acaricidal and repellent effect against Ixodes ricinus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus. This action begins within two days of application and can last up to 8 months.

It also has acaricidal activity against Dermacentor reticulatus, again for up to 8 months.

The treatment acts on different developmental stages of ticks: larvae, nymphs and adults.

It can also indirectly reduce the risk of transmission of certain pathogens carried by ticks. This concerns in particular Babesia canis vogeli and Ehrlichia canis. This reduced risk does not, however, mean that transmission becomes impossible.

Seresikan large dog and protection against sandflies

The collar's repellent action against sandflies also helps reduce the risk of transmission of Leishmania infantum, the agent responsible for canine leishmaniasis.

This reduced risk can last up to 8 months. However, the effect remains indirect and no antiparasitic protection can fully exclude sandfly bites.

In areas where these insects are present, it is recommended to fit the collar before the start of their activity period and to leave it on the dog throughout the risk season.

How to fit Seresikan on a large dog?

Seresikan is used by the cutaneous route. Only one collar per dog should be used.

Remove the collar from its pouch only at the time of fitting. Unroll it completely then place it around the dog's neck.

Adjust it without tightening it excessively. You should be able to slide about two fingers between the collar and the neck.

Then thread the end through the buckle. Cut off the excess length, leaving a maximum of about 2 cm after the buckle.

The collar must remain in place without interruption throughout the protection period, which can last up to 8 months. Check its fit regularly.

When should the antiparasitic collar be fitted?

To optimise its use, it is best to fit Seresikan before the start of the flea and tick season.

Ticks already present before fitting may remain attached for some time. It is therefore advisable to remove them when installing the collar.

Prevention of new tick infestations begins within two days of fitting.

In a home heavily infested with fleas, treating the dog alone may not be enough. Eggs and larvae can be present in rugs, baskets, sofas and other bedding areas. Regular cleaning and, if necessary, appropriate treatment of the environment can complement the management.

Can Seresikan get wet?

The Seresikan collar is water-resistant. It therefore remains effective if the dog is occasionally wetted.

However, repeated shampooing and prolonged or intense exposure to water may reduce the product's duration of activity.

Dogs wearing Seresikan must not be allowed to swim in watercourses. Imidacloprid and flumethrin can have harmful effects on aquatic organisms.

What precautions should be taken with Seresikan large dog?

Seresikan must not be used on a puppy under 7 weeks of age.

Do not use it either on a dog with a known hypersensitivity to imidacloprid, flumethrin or any of the other components.

Use during pregnancy or lactation is not recommended, as the safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established in these situations.

After handling the collar, wash your hands with cold water. Prevent children from playing with it or putting it in their mouths. It is also advisable not to let a dog wearing the collar sleep in the same bed as its owners, particularly children.

In case of an unusual reaction after fitting, seek advice from your veterinarian or pharmacist.

Seresikan 70 cm for dogs over 8 kg

The Seresikan large dog antiparasitic collar allows applications to be spaced out thanks to activity lasting up to 8 months. Its 70 cm length and dosage of 4.50 g of imidacloprid and 2.03 g of flumethrin correspond specifically to dogs weighing more than 8 kg.

It provides a response against several external parasites when the dog has or is at risk of a mixed infestation. Respecting this indication also helps avoid unnecessary use of antiparasitics.
