SPECIAL WARNING FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they

ineffective therapy:
•
Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class,
over an
extended period of time.
•
Under
dosing,
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
resista
