Clinical information

Triclacert 100 mg/ml Oral Suspension for Cattle — SPC Details

Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 26 Mar 2026.

Triclaben 10% is indicated for the treatment of fasciolosis in cattle caused by early
immature, immature and adult stages of liverfluke (Fasciola hepatica) susceptible to
triclabendazole.
For oral administration only, using properly calibrated dosing equipment. To ensure
administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as
possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be
grouped according to their bodyweight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid
under- or over-dosing.

For animals over 400 kg - give an additional 6 ml for each additional 50 kg
bodyweight.
DOSING PROGRAMME:
The timing for treatment should be based on epidemiological factors and should be
customized for each individual farm. A dosing programme should be established by
the veterinary surgeon.
A lasting result, however, can only be expected by involving all potential hosts
(domestic ruminants, horse, game animals) in an extensive control programme. The
same treatment days should be used for cattle and sheep when a liver fluke dosing
programme is implemented and they are grazing the same pasture concurrently; an
appropriate authorised product should be used in sheep. All bought in animals,
suspected to be infected with liver fluke, should be dosed before joining the main
herd.
Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.
Occasionally, inflammation of the unpigmented skin, including the udder and the
teats, may occur after treatment in cattle exposed to intense sunshine.
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 triclabendazole has been reported in Fasciola hepatica in cattle.
Therefore, the use of this product should be based on local epidemiological
information about susceptibility of the and recommendations on
how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics.

Special precautions for use in animals
Only use for liverfluke strains susceptible to triclabendazole. Frequent and repeated
use may lead to the development of resistance.
the mouth or pharyngeal region when dosing. Clean drenching equipment before
and after use. Shake container before use. Use unaltered product from the original
container.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals
When using the product do not eat, drink or smoke. Wear gloves. Wash splashes
from eyes and skin immediately. Take off any contaminated clothing immediately.
Wash hands and exposed skin before meals and after work. In cases of
hypersensitivity and contact allergy, direct skin contact and inhalation should be
avoided.
Other Precautions
The use of Triclaben 10% may have harmful effects on fish and aquatic
invertebrates. Cattle must not have any access to surface water such as streams,
ponds or ditches within 7 days after treatment with Triclaben. When spreading
manure from treated animals on arable lands a safety distance of 10 m to adjacent
surface waters must be kept.

The administration of the product is well tolerated in target species when given on a
single occasion at 3 times the recommended dose. A single oral dose of 150-200 mg

dullness and reduced appetite. These side effects are slight and last 1 to 5 days. An
antidote is not known.
