Dose to be administered and administration route
IVOMEC Classic Injection for Cattle and Sheep should be given only by subcutaneous injection, using aseptic precautions, at the recommended dosage level of 200 mcg ivermectin per kg bodyweight under the loose skin in front of, or behind, the shoulder in cattle and in the neck 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.
Use this chart as a guide in working out the appropriate dose rate:

| Bodyweight (kg) | Dose Volume (ml) | Bodyweight (kg) |

| 101 – 150 | 3.0 | 10.1 – 15 |
0.3 |
| 151 – 200 | 4.0 | 15.1 – 25 |

|
|||
| For cattle weighing over 400kg calculate the dose at the rate of 1ml per 50kg bodyweight | For sheep weighing over 100kg calculate the dose at the rate of 0.5ml per 25kg. | ||
When treating sheep of less than 16kg, seek veterinary advice regarding the use of 1ml disposable syringes graduated in increments of 0.1ml. For the treatment of individual sheep, a syringe not exceeding 2.0ml and calibrated in increments of 0.1ml should be used.
Each ml contains 10 mg of ivermectin sufficient to treat 50 kg of bodyweight of cattle and sheep. The injection may be given with any standard automatic or single-dose or hypodermic syringe. Use of a sterile 17 gauge x ½ inch needle is suggested. Replace with a fresh sterile needle after every 10 to 12 animals. Injection of wet or dirty animals is not recommended.
For the treatment and control of sheep scab, two injections with a seven day interval are required to treat clinical signs of scab and to eliminate mites.
Adverse reactions
Cattle
Mild and transient discomfort has occasionally been observed in cattle following subcutaneous administration. A low incidence of soft tissue swelling at the injection site has been observed.
Sheep
Discomfort, sometimes intense but usually transient, has been observed in some sheep following subcutaneous administration.
In both species these reactions disappear without treatment.
