Petcare Selamec (Selamectin) Spot On for Cats — 0.5 ml

It is a genuine cat flea and tick spot on that also works inside the body, priced at ₹323. Browse the full cat fleas & ticks range to compare.

What Selamec is and how it works?

Selamec is a broad-spectrum parasite treatment for cats built around selamectin B.P. 6% w/v, a molecule vets call an endectocide — meaning it kills both external parasites (ecto-) and internal ones (endo-) from a single spot-on. When you apply it to the skin, selamectin is absorbed and distributed through the body. Parasites that bite or live on your cat take it in, and it paralyses and kills them. The highest concentration in the body is reached within about 70 hours, and one dose keeps working for a month.

That two-in-one action is what makes it a cat deworming spot on as well as a flea treatment — it removes the need to give a separate deworming tablet for the worms it covers. It is the same molecule found in premium brands like Revolution, at an Indian-market price.

What Selamec protects your cat against?

One monthly pipette provides cat internal and external parasite treatment across:

• Fleas — kills adult fleas and helps break the flea life cycle, so it treats flea infestations and the itching they cause

• Ticks — controls tick infestations on cats

• Ear mites — a very common, intensely itchy problem in cats; selamectin is a standard treatment (see the dedicated section below)

• Lice

• Heartworm — provides monthly heartworm prevention, the mosquito-borne parasite that is serious once established

• Hookworms and roundworms — treats and controls these intestinal worms

For the worms it does not cover, such as tapeworm, pair it with a suitable cat dewormer. If you prefer a different active or a combination approach, the full spot-on for cats range has the alternatives.

Selamec for ear mites in cats

Ear mites are one of the most common reasons cats scratch at their ears and shake their heads, and they spread easily between pets in a household. Selamec’s selamectin is an effective, vet-recognised ear mite treatment for cats — applied to the skin, not into the ear canal, which most cats tolerate far better than ear drops. If your cat has dark, crumbly ear discharge or is scratching constantly, our guide on recognising and treating ear mites explains what to look for, and a single spot-on dose is usually where treatment starts.

How to apply Selamec spot on? dosage and use

Selamec is dosed by body weight. This 0.5 ml pipette is for cats weighing up to 5 kg, which covers most adult cats.

• Part the fur at the back of the neck, at the base of the skull, so you can see skin.

• Empty the whole pipette onto the skin in one spot — not the fur. This location stops your cat licking it off.

• Do not massage it in; let it dry naturally. Keep the area from getting wet for a day.

• Apply once a month, on the same date each month, for continuous protection.

• Do not bathe your cat for about 2 hours before and 24 hours after, so it absorbs properly.

• In a multi-cat home, treat all cats together and keep them from grooming each other until the spots are dry.

What to do if you miss a monthly dose?

• Remembered within a few days? Apply it as soon as you remember, then continue monthly from that new date.

• Missed by a couple of weeks or more? Apply now and reset your monthly reminder. Check your cat for live fleas or ear-scratching in the meantime.

• Do not apply a second pipette early to catch up — one pipette a month is the full dose.

• If heartworm prevention is your main reason for using it, try hard not to let doses lapse, since gaps reduce the protection.

Safety information

Selamec is well tolerated by most cats. Side effects are uncommon and usually mild.

• Temporary hair loss or a stiff, spiky patch at the application site is the most common effect and settles on its own.

• Mild skin irritation or brief drooling if your cat licks the spot before it dries.

• Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, or to a wet cat.

• Kittens under 8 weeks should not be treated with this pipette — ask a vet for an age-appropriate option.

• Sick, underweight or debilitated cats, and pregnant or nursing queens, should be treated only on a vet’s advice.

• Keep treated cats away from children until the spot is fully dry, and wash your hands after applying.

• If your cat shows unusual lethargy, vomiting, tremors or heavy drooling after application, contact your vet.

Storage and handling

• Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct light. Refrigeration is not needed.

• Keep the pipette sealed in its packaging until use, so you can check batch and expiry.

• For external use in animals only — not for human use.

• Keep out of reach of children, and dispose of the used pipette safely.

FAQs

What is Selamec spot on used for in cats?

Selamec is a monthly selamectin 6% spot-on that treats and prevents multiple parasites in one dose: fleas, ticks, ear mites, lice, hookworms and roundworms, plus heartworm prevention. It works both on the skin and inside the body, so it doubles as a flea treatment and a dewormer for the worms it covers.

How do I apply Selamec spot on to my cat?

Part the fur at the back of the neck until you see skin, then empty the whole 0.5 ml pipette onto that one spot, never onto fur. Do not massage it in; let it dry. Avoid bathing for 2 hours before and 24 hours after. Repeat once a month.

What is the correct Selamec dosage for cats?

This 0.5 ml pipette contains selamectin 6% and is dosed for cats weighing up to 5 kg, which suits most adult cats. Apply one pipette once a month. Kittens must be at least 8 weeks old. Cats over 5 kg may need a larger or combined dose — confirm with a vet.

Does Selamec treat ear mites in cats?

Yes. Selamectin is an effective, vet-recognised ear-mite treatment, and Selamec is applied to the skin at the neck rather than into the ear canal, which most cats tolerate far better than ear drops. A single monthly spot-on dose is usually where ear-mite treatment begins.

Is Selamec a dewormer for cats?

Partly. As an endectocide, selamectin treats and controls hookworms and roundworms, so it covers those intestinal worms alongside fleas and mites. It does not cover tapeworm, so cats needing full worm control should also receive a suitable oral dewormer. Ask a vet if you are unsure what your cat needs.

How fast does Selamec work and how often do I use it?

Selamectin spreads through the body within about 24 hours and reaches peak levels by around 70 hours, with fleas dying over the first day or two. One 0.5 ml pipette protects for a full month, so apply it once monthly on the same date for continuous flea, mite and worm control.

Is Selamec safe for kittens and pregnant cats?

It can be used in kittens from 8 weeks of age at the correct weight. Kittens younger than that should not be treated with this pipette. Pregnant or nursing cats, and any sick or underweight cat, should only be treated on a vet’s advice. Always match the dose to weight.

What is the price of Selamec spot on for cats?

Petcare Selamec spot on for cats (0.5 ml, selamectin 6%) is ₹323 for a single pipette on Fifozone, which covers one cat for one month. Multi-pipette combos with a dewormer are also available and work out cheaper than buying the two products separately.
