Contra-indications, warnings, etc
For animal treatment only.
This product is not to be used intramuscularly or intravenously.
The product has been formulated specifically for use in these target species. It should not be used in other species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may occur.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product.
Wash hands after use.
Take care to avoid self-injection: the product may cause local irritation and/or pain at the injection site.
In sheep treatment of psoroptic mange (sheep scab) with one injection is not recommended because, although a 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.
Swab septum before removing each dose.
Use sterile needle and syringe.
When treating groups of animals use only an automatic dosing device (with vented draw-off apparatus when using the 50ml vial). Syringes must be filled from the vial through a dry sterile draw-off needle that has been placed in the vial stopper. Vial stoppers must not be broached more than 20 times.
Adequate vaccination of sheep against clostridial infections is strongly recommended.
