See also section, "Withdrawal Period(s)" Special Warnings for Each Target Species The veterinary medicinal product has been formulated specifically for use in horses only. Dogs and cats may be adversely affected by the concentration of ivermectin in the veterinary medicinal product if they are allowed to ingest spilled paste or have access to used syringes. As with all anthelmintics, a veterinary surgeon should establish appropriate dosing programmes and stock management to achieve adequate parasite control and reduce the likelihood of anthelmintic resistance developing. Special Precautions for Use Special precautions for use in animals: Avermectins may not be well tolerated in all non-target species (cases of intolerance with fatal outcome are reported in dogs, especially Collies, Old English Sheepdogs 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 smoke or eat while handling the veterinary medicinal product. Wash hands after use. Avoid eye contact. Adverse reactions (Frequency and Seriousness) Some horses carrying heavy infection of Onchocerca microfilariae have experienced oedema and pruritus following dosing, assumed to be the result of death of large numbers of microfilariae. These signs resolve within a few days but symptomatic treatment may be advisable. Frequent and repeated use may lead to the development of resistance. Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay The veterinary medicinal product can be administered at any stage of pregnancy. Ivermectin passes readily into milk. When administering to lactating females, residues of ivermectin could be present in the maternal milk. No studies have been reported on the effect of ingestion of milk on the development of newborn foals. Do not use in mares producing milk for human consumption. Interactions with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction None known.
