Ivomec Classic Pour-On for Cattle
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE–KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, OPEN FLAME OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.
For animal treatment only.
For external use only.
Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy:
- Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an extended period of time.
- Underdosing, which may be due to underestimation of bodyweight, misadministration of the product, or lack of calibration of the dosing device (if any).
Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be further investigated using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological class and having a different mode of action should be used.
Resistance to macrocyclic lactones (which includes ivermectin) has been reported in Cooperia spp. in cattle within the EU. Therefore, the use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics.
Undesirable effects are not expected when IVOMEC Classic Pour-On for cattle is used at the recommended dose rate. No signs of toxicity appeared in trials up to 5mg/kg (10 times the recommended dose rate). No antidote has been identified.
Do not apply to areas of skin which have mange scabs or other lesions or to areas contaminated with mud or manure.
IVOMEC Classic Pour-On for Cattle has been formulated for topical application specifically in cattle. It should not be applied or administered to other species, as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may occur.
