ATC code
Species
Cattle, sheep
Indications
For the treatment and control of both gastrointestinal and pulmonary nematode infections, and adult liver fluke infections. Removes most mature Fasciola spp (flukes) present in the bile ducts of the liver
Dose to be administered and administration route
Thoroughly shake the container well before use to ensure that the two active substances are homogeneously resuspended and therefore the animals receive the correct dose.
Dosing must be carried out using a suitable gun system, at a rate of 7.5 mg/kg bodyweight levamisole hydrochloride and 15 mg/kg bodyweight oxyclozanide achieved by administering 2.5 ml per 10 kg bodyweight in cattle and 0.5 ml per 2 kg bodyweight in sheep.
To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked. Animals should be dosed according to their individual weight, and not dosed as per the heaviest animal in the group, otherwise signs of overdose may occur (see section 4.10).
Do not mix with other products.
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. Rarely, animals may also display signs of ataxia, incoordination, recumbency and depression. Photosensitisation associated with inflammation of the skin (particularly non pigmented skin e.g. muzzle, udder) has been observed to occur very rarely and which may be painful and lead to skin sloughing in severe cases.
Additionally, rarely, sheep may show an allergic reaction such as submandibular oedema, ear flap oedema and swelling of the head. If such a reaction occurs, appropriate treatment should be administered without delay.
Such reactions may evolve to a more severe condition (anaphylaxis), which may be life-threatening.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
