Contra-indications Not for use in species other than cattle as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities, may occur in dogs for example. Do not use by the intravenous or intramuscular route. Do not use in animals known to be hypersensitive to the active substance. Special warnings for each target species Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of the 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. Special precautions for use Special precautions for use in animals Divide doses greater than 10 ml between two injection sites to reduce occasional discomfort or site reaction. Frequent and repeated use may lead to the development of resistance. The timing of treatment for the parasitic stages of warbles should be chosen carefully. The best time to treat against infections with Hypoderma is immediately after the end of the swarming of the warbles, before the larvae cause damage in the body of the animal (October to November). If larvae of Hypoderma bovis are killed during migration through the spine, this may induce posterior paralysis and recumbency. These reactions occur mainly when animals are treated between December and March. Avermectins may not be well tolerated in non-target species. Cases of intolerance resulting in fatalities have been reported in dogs, especially Collies, Old English Sheep Dogs and related breeds or crosses, and also in turtles/tortoises. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product. Wash hands after use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Take care to avoid accidental self-injection: the product may cause irritation and/or pain at the site of injection. Adverse reactions Transitory discomfort has been observed in some cattle following subcutaneous administration. Soft-tissue swelling and/or slight pain at the injection site has also been observed. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. In case of hypersensitivity reactions a symptomatic treatment should be applied.
