DOSING PROGRAMME:

Routine treatment (Areas of heavy fluke infection)

As a guide, dose all cattle exposed to fluke infected pastures preventatively at regular intervals of 10 weeks from March/April through to October/November. In situations where stock are outwintered another dose in January may be required. All animals grazing the pasture should be treated at these times. All bought in animals should be dosed before joining the main flock. Veterinary advice should be sought with regard to specific preventative dosing regimes.

Routine treatment (Areas of moderate fluke infection)

Dose all cattle on fluke infected pastures at intervals of 10 weeks throughout the fluke season, usually September to January/February. An additional preventative treatment in Spring will assist in reducing the amount of new infection on the pastures in the following Autumn. All bought in animals should be dosed before joining the main herd.

Inwintered Cattle

Where cattle are inwintered, a single dose of Tribex 10% should be given 2 weeks after housing.

Treatment of sub-acute and acute outbreaks

Affected cattle should be treated immediately after diagnosis and veterinary advice should be sought for subsequent dosing intervals. If a preventative fluke dosing programme is employed the occurrence of acute fluke is greatly reduced. Retreatment may not be carried out within 8 weeks.

Contra-indications, warnings, etc

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

Only use for liverfluke strains susceptible to triclabendazole. Care must be taken not to damage the mouth or pharyngeal region when dosing. Clean drenching equipment before and after use. Shake container before use. Use unaltered product from the original container. Frequent and repeated use may lead to the development of resistance.

Tribex 10% can be safely given to pregnant cattle. Do not administer to cattle producing milk for human consumption.
