Contraindications The product is for administration only by the subcutaneous route and must not be given via other routes. It should not be used in other species than those indicated as severe reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may occur. Special Warnings for Each Target Species Immediately following subcutaneous injection, activity suggesting pain, sometimes intense but usually transient, has been observed in some sheep. Special Precautions for Use Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result 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 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 ivermectin (an avermectin) has been reported in Telodorsagia in sheep and goats within the EU and it is common in Haemonchus in sheep outside the EU. It has been reported in Cooperia oncophora in cattle within the EU, in Teladorsagia in cattle in developed countries such as New Zealand and Haemonchus outside the EU. Therefore the use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about the susceptibility of nematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics. Special precautions for use in animals In pigs, especially those under 16 kg for which less than a volume of 0.5 ml is indicated, dosing accuracy is important. The use of a suitably calibrated syringe that can accurately deliver 0.1 ml is recommended. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product. Direct contact of the product with the skin should be kept to a minimum. Wash hands after use. Take care to avoid accidental self-injection: this product may cause local irritation and/or pain at the injection site. Adverse Reactions (Frequency and Seriousness) Transitory discomfort has been observed in some cattle following subcutaneous administration. Tissue swellings at the injection site have been observed. These reactions resolve without treatment.
