The timing of treatment should be based on epidemiological factors and should be customised for each individual farm. A dosing program should be established by a qualified professional person. Contra-indications Do not use intramuscularly or intravenously. IVOMEC Super Injection for Cattle is a low-volume product registered for use in cattle. Do not use in other species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may occur. Special warnings for each target species For use only in beef cattle and non-lactating dairy cattle. 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 bodyweight, 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. Resistance to macrocyclic lactones (which includes ivermectin) has been reported in Cooperia spp. in cattle within the EU. 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.
