Dose to be administered and administration route
Pour-on use.
Administer only by topical application at the dose rate of 1 ml of the product per 10 kg of body weight, corresponding to the recommended dose rate of 0.5 mg eprinomectin per kg b.w. The product should be applied along the backline in a narrow strip extending from the withers to the tailhead.
To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible and 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- and overdosing.
All the animals belonging to the same group should be treated at the same time.
