risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective
therapy:
•
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).
Revised: October 2025
AN: 01766/2025
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 sheep.
Therefore, the use of this product should be based on local (regional / farm)
epidemiological information about susceptibility of the
recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics.
i. Special precautions for use in animals

ii. 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.
iii. Other Precautions
The use of Triclaben 5% may have harmful effects on fish and aquatic
invertebrates. Sheep 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.
Protect from frost.
