Panomec

PANOMEC Injection for Cattle, Sheep and Pigs should be given only by subcutaneous injection 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. At the recommended dosage level of 300 mcg ivermectin per kg of bodyweight, PANOMEC Injection for Cattle, Sheep and Pigs should be given only subcutaneously in the neck in pigs.

Syringes must be filled from the vial through a dry sterile draw-off needle that has been placed in the vial stopper. Vial stoppers must not be broached more than 20 times.

This product does not contain an antimicrobial preservative. Swab septum before removing each dose.

Use sterile needle and syringe. When treating groups of animals use only an automatic dosing device (with vented draw-off apparatus when using the 50ml vial).

To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight 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:

When treating pigs and sheep of less than 16kg, seek veterinary advice regarding the use of 1ml disposable syringes graduated in increments of 0.1ml. When treating individual sheep, a syringe, not exceeding 2ml and calibrated in increments of 0.1 ml, should be used.

Each ml contains 10 mg of ivermectin sufficient to treat 50 kg of bodyweight of cattle and sheep and 33 kg of bodyweight of pigs. The injection may be given with any standard automatic or single-dose or hypodermic syringe. Use of 17 gauge x 1/2 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 (Psoroptes ovis), two injections with a seven-day interval are required to treat clinical signs of scab and to eliminate mites.
