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:
•
extended period of time.
•
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.
