Tectomec 0.8 mg/ml Oral Solution Drench for Sheep

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:
•
over an 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 ivermectin (an avermectin) has been reported in
in sheep and goats within the EU and it is common in in sheep
outside the EU. Therefore the use of this product should be based on local
(regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematode
and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to
anthelmintics.
