Copinox capsules are administered orally. Place the capsule at the back of the mouth, beyond the hump of the tongue, using a suitable dosing gun (eg. the Copinox sheep dosing gun). To avoid injury, the dosing gun should be used carefully and without force. Normal swallowing movements should allow the dose to be passed easily into the back of the mouth, the capsule may then be ejected and passage of the gun beyond this point is not necessary. Always check that the animal swallows the capsule.

Ewes: 1 x Copinox Ewe/Calf 4g capsule

For the prevention of congenital swayback the dose should be given at tupping or during the first half of pregnancy. It may be advisable to administer the dose during the second or third month of pregnancy rather than at tupping on farms where copper deficiency is particularly severe.

Calves: Ruminant calves, 75 to 100 kg bodyweight, may be given 2 x Copinox Ewe/Calf 4g capsules
