SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
The efficacy of this medicinal product declines with water

Avoid treatment if large amounts of organic material are present in
the sea water or if the sea-cage is
overgrown, as this may reduce the efficacy of the treatment.
Dead sea lice may remain on the fish for a few days after treatment
(depending on the water
temperature).
Alpha Max does not prevent reinfestation with sea lice after
treatment.
Lack of efficacy and reduced sensitivity to deltamethrin has been
observed. Suboptimal treatment
regimen and frequent treatments as well as the use of pyrethroids only
for sea lice treatment, can
induce reduced sensitivity in the sea lice with lack of efficacy as a
possible consequence.
