development of resistance.
AN: 03408/2024 & 03411/2024

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Care must be taken not to apply the product right to the lamb’s tail, as a ewe recognises a
young lamb partly by the smell of the tail area.
Blowflies are attracted by dirty, damp wool or open wounds. The most common site for fly
strike is the rump due to soiling caused by diarrhoea and urine staining. The efficacy of the
product is reduced in the presence of soiled or dirty wool. Therefore, sheep must be
crutched (dagged) regularly and appropriate worm control measures employed.
Take care not to apply product in the sheep’s eyes. This precaution should be observed
particularly when treating breeds with little wool on their heads.
Full operating and maintenance instructions, including details on the use of nozzles, are
supplied with each Pour-On Gun. Please read carefully before use. Maintain gun carefully to
ensure accurate dosage.
For external use only.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals

water.

Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Cypermethrin is extremely toxic to aquatic and dung organisms
As a precautionary measure sheep must be kept away from watercourses for at least 12
hours following treatment (see ‘Environmental properties’). Given the risks to the
environment the use of the product should be limited to one treatment per year per pasture.
Long term effects on dung insects caused by continuous or repeated use of pyrethroid
ectoparasiticides cannot be excluded. Therefore repeated treatment of animals on the same
AN: 03408/2024 & 03411/2024
pasture with a pyrethroid-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.
