Important: Accurate estimates of the weight of the cattle, sheep, and goats to be treated are essential for most effective results with this product. Animals constantly exposed to internal parasites should be retreated as necessary.
Residue Warnings: Cattle must not be slaughtered within 27 days following last treatment. Sheep and Goats must not be slaughtered within 7 days following last treatment. Because a withdrawal time in milk has not been established, do not use in female dairy cattle of breeding age. Do not use in lactating does.
Other Warnings:
Parasite resistance may develop to any dewormer, and has been reported for most classes of dewormers. Treatment with a dewormer used in conjunction with parasite management practices appropriate to the geographic area and the animal(s) to be treated may slow the development of parasite resistance. Fecal examinations or other diagnostic tests and parasite management history should be used to determine if the product is appropriate for the herd/flock, prior to the use of any dewormer. Following the use of any dewormer, effectiveness of treatment should be monitored (for example, with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test or another appropriate method). A decrease in a drug’s effectiveness over time as calculated by fecal egg count reduction tests may indicate the development of resistance to the dewormer administered. Your parasite management plan should be adjusted accordingly based on regular monitoring.
Precaution: Do not administer to female cattle during first 45 days of pregnancy or for 45 days after removal of bulls. Do not administer to ewes or does during the first 30 days of pregnancy or for 30 days after removal of rams or bucks. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.
