Persistent Activity Panomec Injection for Cattle, Sheep and Pigs given at the recommended dosage of 0.2 mg per kg bodyweight controls re-infection with Barbers pole worm (Haemonchus placei), Small intestinal worm (Cooperia spp.) and Hairworm (Trichostrongylus axei) for 14 days, Brown stomach worm (Ostertagia ostertagi) and Nodular worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum) for 21 days, and Lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus) for 28 days after treatment. The timing of treatment should be based on epidemiological factors and should be customised for each individual farm. A dosing program should be established by a qualified professional person. Sheep Gastrointestinal Roundworms (Adult, L4 and Inhibited L4) Ostertagia circumcincta Haemonchus contortus Gastrointestinal Roundworms (Adult and L4) Ostertagia trifurcata Trichostrongylus colubriformis Cooperia curticei Oesophagostomum columbianum Nematodirus filicollis Chabertia ovina Gastrointestinal Roundworms (Adult) Trichostrongylus axei T. vitrinus Oesophagostomum venulosum Trichuris ovis Lungworms (Adult and L4) Dictyocaulus filaria Lungworms (Adult) Protostrongylus rufescens Nasal Bots Oestrus ovis Mange Mites Psoroptes ovis* *For the treatment and control of sheep scab, two injections with a seven-day interval are required to treat clinical signs of scab and to eliminate mites. Pigs Gastrointestinal Roundworms (Adult and L4) Ascaris suum Hyostrongylus rubidus Oesophagostomum spp. Gastrointestinal Roundworms (Adult and somatic larval stages) Strongyloides ransomi Lungworms (Adult) Metastrongylus spp. Lice Haematopinus suis Mange Mites Sarcoptes scabei var. suis Contra-indications Do not use intramuscularly or intravenously. PANOMEC Injection for Cattle, Sheep and Pigs has been formulated specifically for use in these target species. Do not use in other species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may occur. Special warnings for each target species Details provided elsewhere apply. See also Indications, Contra-indications, and 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 in 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 bodyweight, 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 macrocyclic lactones (which includes ivermectin) has been reported in Teladorsagia spp. in sheep and in Cooperia spp. in cattle within the EU. Therefore, the use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics. Special precautions for use in animals In sheep treatment of psoroptic mange (sheep scab) with one injection is not recommended because, although a clinical improvement may be seen, elimination of all mites may not occur. Sheep scab (Psoroptes ovis) is an extremely contagious external parasites of sheep. Following treatment of infected sheep, great care must be taken to avoid re-infestation, as mites may be viable for up to 15 days off the sheep. It is important to ensure all sheep which have been in contact with infected sheep are treated. Contact between treated infected and non-treated, non-infected flocks must be avoided until at least 7 days after the last treatment. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals Take care to avoid self-injection: the product may cause local irritation and/or pain at the injection site. Do not smoke, eat or drink while handling the product. Wash hands after use. In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice and show the label or package leaflet to the physician. Adverse reactions Cattle Transitory discomfort has been observed in some cattle following subcutaneous administration. A low incidence of soft tissue swelling at the injection site has been observed. Sheep Immediately following subcutaneous injection, activity suggesting pain, sometimes intense but usually transient, has been observed in some sheep. Pigs Mild and transient pain reactions may be seen in some pigs following subcutaneous injection. All these reactions disappeared without treatment.
