Indications
For the treatment of dermatomycoses in cattle, horses and dogs induced by the following pathogenic fungi:
Trichophyton verrucosum
Trichophyton mentagrophytes
Trichophyton equinum
Microsporum canis
Microsporum gypseum
Dose to be administered and administration route
For topical use only.
To be prepared and administered in adequately ventilated surroundings.
The concentrated Imaverol solution should be diluted by adding 1 part to 50 parts warm water to provide a 2 mg/ml emulsion.
Dermatophytes will extend into the hair follicles. Possible crusts must therefore be removed with a hard brush which has been soaked in the diluted Imaverol emulsion.
It is highly recommended that the animal is sprayed entirely at the first treatment so as to reach the subclinical lesions as well.
Cattle: depending on the nature of the lesions, cattle should be treated 3 to 4 times at 3-day intervals. The animals should either be washed with the diluted emulsion or the emulsion should be applied to them with a sprayer or highpressure cleaning unit.
Horses: the lesions and surrounding skin should be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times at 3-day intervals.
Dogs: the animals should be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times at 3-day intervals. While doing this, one should rub thoroughly in the direction opposite to the hair growth to make sure that the skin is thoroughly wet. For the same reason, it is recommended that long haired dogs be clipped before treatment.
Alternatively, dogs may be dipped thoroughly in a bath containing the prepared emulsion, care should be taken not to get the product in the eyes, nose or mouth.
Adverse reactions
In rare occasions, digestive signs (anorexia, salivation, vomiting) and nervous signs (ataxia, lethargy) were observed.
Skin disorders (pruritus, alopecia) have been reported very rarely based on postmarketing safety experience.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- Very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reactions during the course of treatment)
- Common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals)
- Uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals)
- Rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals
- Very rare (less than 1 animals in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports).
