In cattle weighing from 100 to 500 kg body weight, treatment and prevention of mixed infestations by the following gastro-intestinal nematodes, respiratory nematodes and certain arthropod parasites:
- Adult and immature gastro-intestinal nematodes:
Haemonchus placei
Haemonchus contortus
Ostertagia ostertagi (including inhibited larvae)
Trichostrongylus axei
Trichostrongylus colubriformis
Nematodirus helvetianus (adults only)
Nematodirus spathiger
Cooperia surnabada
Cooperia oncophora
Cooperia pectinata
Cooperia punctata
Oesophagostomum radiatum
Bunostomum phlebotomum (adults only)
Chabertia ovina (adults only)
Trichuris spp. (adults only)
Adult and immature respiratory tract nematode
Dictyocaulus viviparus
Warble grubs (migrating larvae)
Hypoderma bovis
Hypoderma lineatum
Lice
Linognathus vituli
Haematopinus eurysternus
Solenopotes capillatus
Bovicola bovis (aid in control)
Mange mites
Sarcoptes scabiei
Psoroptes ovis
Chorioptes bovis (aid in control)
The veterinary medicinal product has a persistent action and protects cattle for a certain duration against infection or re-infection with the following parasites for the period indicated:
Species | Protection period (days) |
Dictyocaulus viviparous | 120 |
Ostertagia ostertagi | 120 |
Haemonchus placei | 90 |
Oesophagostomum radiatum | 150 |
Trichostrongylus axei | 90 |
Linognathus vituli | 133 |
The veterinary medicinal product is effective against Hypoderma larvae at the time of treatment but its persistent activity against Hypoderma has not been evaluated. If the product is given before the end of the fly season complimentary treatment with a product effective against Hypoderma may be required.
Persistent efficacy periods have not been established for parasite species other than those included in the above list. Therefore, re-infection of animals on pasture
contaminated by parasites other than these remains possible before the end of the 90 day minimum persistency period demonstrated for specific species.
