Oral use.
Shake well before use.
The use of suitably calibrated measuring equipment is recommended to ensure accurate dosing. This is particularly important when administering small volumes. To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped according to their body weight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under- or overdosing.
1 mg diclazuril per kg body weight (i.e. 1 ml of the veterinary medicinal product per 2.5 kg body weight), in a single oral administration.
