Contra-indications, warnings, etc

Highly flammable - keep away from heat, sparks, open flame or other sources of ignition.

For animal treatment only.

No sign of toxicity appeared up to 1.5mg/kg (3 times the recommended dose rate). No antidote has been identified.

Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.

Frequent and repeated use may lead to the development of resistance. To avoid secondary reactions due to the death of Hypoderma larvae in the oesophagus or in the spine, it is recommended to administer the product at the end of the period of warble fly activity and before the larvae reach their resting site. Do not treat cattle when hair or hide is wet. Do not treat cattle if rain is expected, as rain within 2 hours of treatment may reduce efficacy. However, the efficacy of the product against established infections of O. ostertagi or D. viviparus is not adversely affected if the hide is wet or if rain falls shortly after treatment.

Do not apply to areas of skin which have mange scabs or other lesions or to areas contaminated with mud or manure.

The influence of extreme climatic conditions on persistent activity of the product is unknown.

The product has been formulated for topical application specifically for cattle. It should not be administered to other species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may occur.
