How to Use
Directions for Use
- Prescription Required: US law permits this drug to be used only when prescribed or directed by a licensed veterinarian.
- Minimum Dose: One tube provides a minimum dose of 2.7 mg selamectin per pound (6 mg/kg), and the entire tube should be applied monthly.
- Open the Tube Correctly: Hold the tube upright with the expiration date visible at the bottom, then bend the tip backward until it snaps off.
- Apply at Base of Neck: Part the hair at the neck before the shoulder blades, then apply all of it straight onto the skin.
- Apply Once Monthly: Administer every month for continuous heartworm prevention, flea control, and parasite protection throughout the year.
- Single Dose for Intestinal Worms: For roundworm and hookworm treatment, a single topical dose is sufficient; consult your veterinarian regarding the need for re-treatment.
- For Cats Over 22 lbs: Use Senergy cat tubes in the recommended combination from your vet to meet the total dose needed.
- Wash Hands After Use: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after application as selamectin may be irritating to human skin and eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does Senergy Topical (Taupe Box) treat and prevent in large cats?
Ans: Senergy Taupe Box is a once-monthly topical solution that prevents heartworm disease, kills adult fleas, and prevents flea egg hatching for one month. It also treats ear mites, roundworms, and hookworms. It is approved for cats and kittens 8 weeks or older weighing 15.1 to 22 lbs.
Q2: How does the Taupe Box differ from the Blue Box?
Ans: The Taupe Box contains 60 mg of selamectin in a 1 mL tube, the highest single-tube dose in the Senergy cat range, compared to 45 mg in the Blue Box's 0.75 mL tube. Both provide identical parasite coverage at the same minimum dose. Always use the tube that best matches your cat's current body weight.
Q3: My large cat weighs more than 22 lbs. Can I still use Senergy?
Ans: Yes. For cats over 22 lbs, the appropriate combination of Senergy cat tube sizes should be used to achieve the correct total dose of 2.7 mg/lb selamectin, as directed by your veterinarian. Never rely on a single Taupe Box tube alone if your cat's weight exceeds 22 lbs.
Q4: Does Senergy Taupe Box protect large cats against ticks?
Ans: No. Unlike the dog formulations of Senergy, the cat formulations do not include labeled tick control. Senergy for cats covers heartworm prevention, flea control, ear mite treatment, and roundworm and hookworm treatment only. Consult your veterinarian for an appropriate tick prevention option for your large cat.
Q5: Can Senergy Taupe Box be used on breeding or pregnant large cats?
Ans: Studies in over 15 cat breeds show selamectin is safe for pregnant and lactating females, with no adverse effects reported, and it is also safe in breeding males. Always talk to your vet before using it in breeding animals.
