Special precautions for use in animals
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.
Revised: March 2026
AN: 04215/2025
•
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 ivermectin (an avermectin) has been reported in in
sheep and goats within the EU and it is common in in sheep
outside the EU. It has been reported in in cattle within the
EU, in in cattle in developed countries such as New Zealand and
Haemonchus in cattle outside 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.
As Ivermectin is extremely dangerous to fish and aquatic life, treated animals
should not have direct access to surface water and ditches during treatment.
To avoid secondary reactions due to the death of Hypoderma larvae in the
oesophagus or in the spine, it is recommended to administer the product at the
end of warble fly activity and before the larvae reach their resting sites.
It is recommended to treat all animals within a herd or group.
The shedding of nematode eggs can continue for some time after treatment.
