The veterinary medicinal product must be shaken before use.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as
possible.
To obtain maximum benefit, animals should be treated before the expected onset of
clinical signs, i.e. in the prepatent period. Treatment during an outbreak will be of
limited value for the individual animal, because of damage to the small intestine having
already occurred.
Pigs:
Individual animal treatment.
Each piglet to be treated on day 3 to 5 of life with a single oral dose of 20 mg toltrazuril
per kg body weight corresponding to 0.4 ml oral suspension per kg body weight.
Due to the small volumes required to treat individual piglets, use of dosing equipment
with a dose accuracy of 0.1 ml is recommended.
Cattle:
Each animal should be treated with a single oral dose of 15 mg toltrazuril/kg body
weight corresponding to 3.0 ml oral suspension per 10 kg body weight.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped
according to their body weight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under- or over-
dosing.
Sheep:
Each animal should be treated with a single oral dose of 20 mg toltrazuril/kg body
weight corresponding to 0.4 ml oral suspension per kg body weight.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped

Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder or the national competent authority via the
national reporting system. See the package leaflet for respective contact details.

As with any antiparasiticide, frequent and repeated use of antiprotozoals from the
same class may lead to the development of resistance.
It is recommended to treat all piglets in a litter and all calves in a pen.
Hygienic measures may reduce the risk of porcine and bovine coccidiosis. It is
therefore, recommended to improve concomitantly the hygienic conditions in the
concerned facility, particularly dryness and cleanliness.
To alter the course of an established clinical coccidial infection in individual animals
already showing signs of diarrhoea, additional supportive therapy may be required.
To obtain maximum benefit, animals should be treated before the expected onset of
clinical signs, i.e. in the prepatent period.

None known.
There is no interaction in combination with iron supplementation.
