Endospec SC 100 mg/ml Oral Suspension for Cattle and Sheep

Cattle suffering from severe lung damage due to heavy lungworm infestation
may continue to cough for some weeks after treatment.
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:
•
class, over an extended period of time.
•
weight, 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 benzimidazoles (which includes albendazole) has been
reported in Cooperia, and Teladorsagia
species in small ruminants in a number of countries, including the EU.
Resistance to albendazole has been reported in Cooperia and Teladorsagia
species in cattle in developed countries such as New Zealand. 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.
