SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Exposure of treated pigs to infected animals, contaminated premises,
soil or pasture
may result in re-infestation and re-treatment may be necessary. Since
the effect of
ivermectin on mange mites is not immediate, avoid direct contact
between treated
and untreated pigs for at least one week after completion of
treatment. Because
louse eggs are unaffected by ivermectin and may take up to three weeks
to hatch, re-
treatment may be necessary.
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 dos
