Dosage | Amounts to be administered and administration route Oral administration with a dosing gun of 2.5 ml per 10 kg bodyweight (corresponding to the recommended dose rate of 0.2 mg ivermectin per kg bodyweight). The dosing gun should be calibrated sufficiently accurately to ensure precise dosing of young sheep. To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked. Do not mix with other products. Overdose The product has demonstrated a wide safety margin at the recommended dose level. The product may be used in sheep of all ages. During a study to assess toxicological effects only mild incoordination and depression were observed at 20 x the recommended dose level (4 mg ivermectin per kg bodyweight, administered by stomach tube). At 40 x the recommended dose level (8 mg ivermectin per kg bodyweight, also administered by stomach tube) acute symptoms (ataxia, staggering gait, incoordination and depression) were observed. Within 24 hours nearly all animals appeared normal and within 3 days all animals appeared clinically normal. No antidote has been identified, however, symptomatic treatment may be beneficial. |
Withdrawals | Withdrawal periods Meat and offal: 6 days. Do not use in lactating animals producing milk for human consumption. If milk is to be used for human consumption animals should not be treated within 60 days prior to the commencement of lactation. |
