SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR TARGET SPECIES
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.
Resistance to closan
