Special precautions for use in animals
Treatment of psoroptic mange (sheep scab) with one injection is not recommended because although clinical improvement may be seen, elimination of all mites may not occur. Sheep scab (Psoroptes ovis) is an extremely contagious external parasite of sheep. Following treatment of infected sheep great care must be taken to avoid re-infestation as mites may be viable for up to 15 days off the sheep. It is important to ensure all sheep which have been in contact with infected sheep are treated. Contact between treated, infected and non-treated non-infected flocks must be avoided until at least 7 days after the last treatment.
Do not combine treatment with vaccination against lungworms. If vaccinated animals are to be treated, treatment should not be carried out within a period of 28 days before or after vaccination.
The shedding of nematode eggs can continue for some time after treatment.
In cattle, 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 warble fly activity and before the larvae reach their resting sites.
The product can be administered during pregnancy in cows, ewes and sows. The fertility of males is not affected by administration of the product.
Avermectins may not be well tolerated in all non-target species. Cases of intolerance with fatal results are reported in dogs – especially Collies, Old English Sheepdogs and related breeds and crosses, and also in turtles/tortoises.
