Product Description
A broad spectrum multi-purpose anthelmintic for the control of mature and developing, immature forms of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms and adult liver fluke in cattle and sheep. The product is also ovicidal against fluke and roundworm eggs.
In Cattle:
Ovidrench 2.5% is active against the following species:
- Roundworms: Teladorsagia, Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Nematodirus, Oesophagostomum, Bunostomum, Cooperia and Strongyloides spp. It is usually effective against inhibited larvae of Cooperia and Teladorsagia.
- Lungworms: Dictyocaulus viviparus.
- Tapeworms:Moniezia spp.
- Adult liver fluke: Fasciola hepatica.
- The product is ovicidal and will kill fluke and roundworm eggs, thus reducing pasture contamination.
In Sheep:
- It is active against benzimidazole-susceptible strains of the following species:
- Roundworms:Teladorsagia, Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Nematodirus (including N. battus), Chabertia and Oesophagostomum. It is usually effective against inhibited larvae of Teladorsagia.
- Lungworms:Dictyocaulus filaria.
- Tapeworms:Moniezia spp.
- Adult liver fluke: Fasciola hepatica.
- The product is ovicidal and will kill fluke and roundworm eggs, thus reducing pasture contamination.
Contraindications:
- Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.
- Special warnings for each target species:
- Cattle suffering from severe lung damage due to heavy lungworm infestation may continue to cough for some weeks after dosing.
- 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.
Special precautions for use in animals:
- Care must be taken not to damage the pharyngeal region when dosing, particularly in sheep.
- Do not administer other cobalt and selenium supplements concurrently unless specifically advised by your vet. Not to be diluted.
- Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
- Avoid direct contact with the product.
- Wear suitable protective clothing including impermeable rubber gloves. In the event of accidental eye exposure, flush eye thoroughly with running water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. In the event of accidental skin exposure, wash the affected areas with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash hands after use.
Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay:
- The use of the product in breeding bulls or pregnant cattle is not expected to interfere with their reproductive performance.
- Do not dose ewes at the ‘fluke and worm’ dose rate (0.3ml per kg of bodyweight or 7.5 mg/kg), during tupping or for 1 month after removing the rams.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction:
- Administration of ionophores to lambs has been shown to enhance selenium bioavailability. Concurrent administration of ionophores and the product may therefore lead to an increased risk of selenium toxicity.
Amounts to be administered and administration route:
- For oral administration only using properly calibrated dosing equipment.
- To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
- Shake the container before use.
- Do not mix with other products.
