Directions
A single administration of 200µg ivermectin per kg of bodyweight.
- Each syringe division mark plunger delivers enough paste to treat 100kg of bodyweight (which corresponds to 1.07 g of product and 20 mg of ivermectin).
- Horse weight should be accurately determined for the correct use of the paste.
- The animal's mouth should be free of food. The syringe must be positioned between the front and back teeth and the paste must be placed on the base of the horse’s tongue.
- Immediately elevate the head of the horse for a few seconds to ensure deglutition.
- Re-treatment should be done according to the epidemiological situation, but not at less than 30 days interval.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Ivermectin18.7 mg/g.
Other Ingredients: Titanium dioxide (E171) 0.02 g/g, Hydrogenated castor oil, Hydroxypropylcellulose and Propylene glycol.
Cautions
- Resistance to ivermectin has been reported in Parascaris equorum in horses. Therefore the use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics.
- As ivermectin is extremely dangerous to fish and aquatic life treated animals should not have direct access to surface water and ditches during treatment.
- Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelmintic may develop following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.
- Since ivermectin is highly bound to plasma proteins, special care should be taken in cases of sick animals or in nutritional conditions associated with low plasma protein levels.
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.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If accidental skin contact occurs, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water. If accidental eye exposure occurs, flush the eyes immediately with water and, if necessary, get medical attention.
- Wash hands after use.
