SPECIAL WARNINGS
To date no resistance to oxyclozanide has been reported. Use of the

(regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of
_Fasciola hepatica_
and
recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to
anthelmintics.
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.
2
-
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

test(s) strongly suggest
resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging
