Default Frontline Combo (Plus) for Cats: I need your help

I suspect that we Italians miss some very
important information about side effects of this product. Will you please
help me? If you will, please, send the image (the bigger, the better) to

Thanks a lot in advance!

I doubt there is much difference in the safety information, mostly because
the product is remarkably safe for cats and dogs (it's toxic to rabbits
and aquatic animals).
I found some details at

Thanks a lot, Ted, those informations were very helpful and
interesting!
I made further investigations and found that you were right, the
directions and the informations about the toxicity are the same,
nothing has been omitted.
All this story arose from the fact that my cat showed terrible and
unexpected side effects to the product after the application and I was
absolutely frightened because my cat was behaving as she didn't know
the place and the persons anymore, she was terrorized by all the
objects in the house and stopped using her litter and stopped eating.
All these awful things for four days in a row and no veterinarian was
able to understand what the origin was.
Now she recovered almost completely, even though it seems that every
now and then she has allucinations and sees things that are not there!
It's ten days from the application, now, and I wonder how long this
story will go on...

By the way, the usage instructions differ by country: Australian ticks are
different from American ticks and require different dosage intervals.


Interesting!
Another thing I learned in these days is that in Great Britain this
product requires a vet prescription, while in Italy we can buy it in
any pet stuff shop or in any pharmacy without prescription at all.

Thanks a lot, Ted, for your kind answer!
