Indications

For the treatment of acute, subacute and chronic infection due to early immature, immature, and mature stages of Fasciola hepatica. If infected animals are treated before disease has developed, fasciolosis can be prevented.

Dose to be administered and administration route

To ensure a correct dosage, body weight 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.

Administer 5 mL/100 kg body weight, equivalent to 12 mg triclabendazole per kg of body weight. The veterinary medicinal product is administered orally after thorough shaking of the suspension. Most types of automatic drenching guns are suitable.

Clean drenching gun before and after use.

The veterinary medicinal product can safely be given to young, pregnant or stressed cattle, cattle not producing milk intended for human consumption or dry cattle. The veterinary medicinal product is given once. The administration may be repeated several weeks or months after the first treatment depending on the epidemiological situation.

In case of acute fasciolosis, treat immediately, then repeat in approximately 4-6 weeks, and consult a veterinarian for advice.
