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
Ostertagia ostertagi and 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.

i) Special precautions for use in animals
This product does not contain any antimicrobial preservative. Swab septum before
removing each dose. To avoid secondary reactions due to the death of Hypoderma larvae
in the oesophagus or the spine, it is recommended to administer the product at the end of
the period of fly activity and before the larvae reach their resting sites: seek professional
advice on the correct timing of treatment.
ii) Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals
Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst handling the product.
Wash hands after use.
Direct contact with the skin should be avoided.
Wear gloves and glasses when handling the veterinary medicinal product.
Take care to avoid self-injection: the product may cause local irritation and/or pain at the
site of injection.
In case of accidental self injection, seek medical advice and show the label to the doctor.
iii) Other precautions
The product is very toxic to aquatic organisms and dung insects. Treated cattle should not
have direct access to ponds, streams or ditches for 14 days after treatment. Long term
effects on dung insects caused by continuous or repeated use cannot be excluded.
Therefore repeated treatment of animals on a pasture with an ivermectin-containing
product within a season should only be given in the absence of alternative treatments or
approaches to maintain animal/flock health, as advised by a veterinarian.
