The product can be given to young, pregnant and lactating animals and those in debilitated condition (in the absence of inter current disease).
Give as an oral drench. Shake the product well before use.
The body weight of animals should be assessed as accurately as possible before calculating the dosage. The 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 overdosing.

Adverse reactions
At normal oxyclozanide dose levels, cattle may show slight softening of the faeces with the occasional animal showing increased frequency of defecation and transient inappetence. The effects of oxyclozanide overdosage are dullness and some loosening of faeces in sheep and possible diarrhoea, inappetance and loss of weight in cattle. These effects are occasionally enhanced in animals with severe liver damage and/or dehydration at the time of dosing.
