Supaverm Oral Suspension

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.
Resistance to benzimidazoles (which includes mebendazole) has been reported
in Teladorsagia, Haemonchus, Cooperia and Trichostrongylus species in small
ruminants in a number of countries including the EU. Resistance to closantel has
been reported in Haemonchus in sheep 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
To reduce the risk of anthelmintic resistance, dosing programmes should be
discussed with a veterinary surgeon.

mouth contact. Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst handling the product. If accidental

iii. Other precautions
This product is toxic to aquatic organisms and dung insects. Long-term effects on
dung insects caused by continuous or repeated use cannot be excluded. Repeat
treatments on a pasture within a season should only be given on the advice of the
prescriber.To reduce the risk for dung fauna, if the worming protocol allows,
treated and untreated animals should be grazed on the same field. The risk to
aquatic ecosystems will be reduced by keeping treated animals away from water
bodies for 48 hours after treatment.
