Flubendazole is ovicidal. Contraindications Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Special warnings for each target species Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy: ∙ Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an extended period of time. ∙ Underdosing, which may be due to underestimation of body weight, misadministration of the product, or lack of calibration of the dosing device (if any). Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be further investigated using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological class and having a different mode of action should be used.
