Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.
Special warnings
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.
• Under dosing, which may be due to under estimation of body weight, 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 triclabendazole has been reported in Fasciola hepatica in cattle. Therefore, the use of this product should be based on local epidemiological information about susceptibility of the Fasciola hepatica and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics.Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.
Special precautions for use in animals
Only use for liver fluke strains susceptible to triclabendazole. Frequent and repeated use may lead to the development of resistance. Care must be taken not to damage the mouth or pharyngeal region when dosing. Clean drenching equipment before and after use. Use unaltered product from the original container.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
None known.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
No adverse effects were reported following a 3-fold overdose in cattle. A single dose of 200 mg/kg causes inappetence, transient weight loss and slight effects on motor activity and serum glucose lactate dehydrogenase (GLDH) in calves.
Withdrawal Period(s)
