infestation rates.
4.5
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals
Following treatment, worker bees with a protruding proboscis were
found. This might be associated
with insufficient access to drinking water. Ensure, therefore, that
treated bees have sufficient access to
drinking water.
The long-term tolerance of the veterinary medicinal product has only
been tested over 18 months, i.e.
a negative impact of the product on queens or colony development after
longer treatment periods
cannot be excluded. It is advised to check regularly that the queen is
present, but avoid disturbing the
hives in the days following treatment.
3
All colonies placed at the same location should be treated at the same
time to minimize the risk of re-
infestation.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the
veterinary medicinal product to
animals
