Supaverm
ATC code
Species
Sheep and lambs.
Indications
For the control of fascioliasis (due to Fasciola hepatica) and gastrointestinal nematodes and cestodes in sheep and lambs. The combination is active against lungworm, roundworms, tapeworms (heads and segments) and fluke (mature and immature).
For the control of the larval stages of Oestrus ovis (Sheep Nasal Bot fly).
For the control of inhibited, immature and adult stages of Haemonchus contortus (Barber Pole worm) including benzimidazole resistant strains.
Also effective against benzimidazole susceptible strains of the following:
Gastro-intestinal roundworms: Ostertagia spp, Trichostrongylus spp, Nematodirus spp, Cooperia spp, Oesophagostomum spp, Chabertia ovina, Bunostomum spp, Trichurus ovis, Strongyloides papillosus.
Lungworm: Dictyocaulus filaria
Tapeworm: Moniezia spp.

Ticks (Ixodes ricinus) feeding on sheep at the time of treatment are likely to produce fewer viable eggs.
Dose to be administered and administration route

Give orally as a drench by careful administration with a drenching gun. Suitable for use with most types of standard drenching equipment. To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
Shake container well before each use. Do not mix with other products.
Gastrointestinal worms
The frequency of treatment will depend on the level of pasture contamination. A suggested programme is to treat ewes prior to lambing, 6 weeks after lambing and prior to tupping to reduce pasture contamination. Dose lambs at regular intervals during high risk periods. Rams may be treated at any time as necessary.
H. contortus
For the treatment and prevention of inhibited, immature and adult stages of benzimidazole resistant and susceptible H. contortus, dose at lambing to help prevent pasture contamination by infected ewes. Treat all animals at 6 weekly intervals during high risk periods in summer and autumn.
Fluke
All sheep on infested pasture should be dosed at regular intervals during the fluke season (Sept-Mar).
Since closantel has been shown to delay egg-laying for up to 13 weeks after artificial infection, treatment intervals of 10-12 weeks throughout the fluke season are recommended. In severe fluke seasons, more frequent dosing may be necessary.
The treatment of ewes with a single dose in the spring will contribute to reducing pasture contamination during the following summer and autumn.
Any sheep brought in from fluke areas should be dosed before they join the flock.
Adverse reactions
At therapeutic doses, the combination is not toxic and causes no side effects.
