Lyophilisate and solvent for suspension for injection.
Visual aspect :
Lyophilisate: White pellet
Solvent: Opalescent liquid
Purified extract of Quillaja saponaria
4.2 Indications for use, specifying the target species
For active immunisation of cats from eight weeks of age against:
- feline calicivirosis to reduce clinical signs.
- feline viral rhinotracheitis to reduce clinical signs and viral excretion.
- feline panleucopenia to prevent leucopenia and to reduce clinical signs.
- feline leukaemia to prevent persistent viraemia and clinical signs of the related disease.
-Onset of immunity: 3 weeks after the primary vaccination for the panleucopenia and leukaemia
components, and 4 weeks after the primary vaccination for the calicivirus and rhinotracheitis
virus components.
-Duration of immunity: one year after the primary vaccination for all components.
The feline calicivirus and feline panleucopenia virus vaccinal strains can spread. It has been
demonstrated that this spread did not cause adverse reactions on non-vaccinated cats.
Maternally derived antibodies, especially those against feline panleucopenia virus, can
negatively influence the immune response to vaccination.
4.5 Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals
-
Vaccinate only healthy animals.
-
De-worming at least 10 days prior to vaccination is recommended.
-
Only FeLV negative cats should be vaccinated. Therefore, a test for presence of FeLV
before vaccination is recommended.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package
leaflet or the label to the physician.
4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
After the first injection, a moderate and transient local reaction (<2 cm) could occur (oedema,
swelling, nodule). This reaction resolves spontaneously within 3 to 4 weeks at the most. After
the second injection, and subsequent administrations, this reaction is markedly reduced. In rare
cases, pain at palpation, sneezing or conjunctivitis may be noted, that resolves without any
treatment. The transient usual signs following vaccination may also be observed, such as:
hyperthermia (lasting 1 to 4 days), apathy, digestive disturbances.
In case of anaphylactic shock, appropriate symptomatic treatment should be administered.
4.7 Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Do not use in pregnant cats.
Use is not recommended during lactation.
4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other
veterinary medicinal product. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary
medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.
4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route
Reconstitute one dose of lyophilisate with one dose of solvent, shake gently and administer
immediately.
Administer subcutaneously one dose of the veterinary medicinal product according to the
following regimen of vaccination.
Primary vaccination :
- first injection in kittens from 8 weeks of age
- second injection 3 or 4 weeks later.
Maternally derived antibodies can negatively influence the immune response to vaccination. In
such cases where maternally derived antibodies are expected, a third injection may be
appropriate from 15 weeks of age.
Revaccination:
Annual
Can be used as a booster for kittens or cats previously vaccinated with FELIGEN RCP and
LEUCOGEN separately.
4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes)
No adverse reactions were observed after an overdose administration (10 doses of lyophilisate
and 2 doses of solvent) of the veterinary medicinal product other than those mentioned in
section 4.6 except local reactions that can last longer (5 to 6 weeks at the most).
