SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Shake the container thoroughly before use.
Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible before calculating dose.
Intensive use or misuse of anthelmintics can give rise to resistance.
To reduce
this risk, dosing programmes should be discussed with your veterinary
adviser.
Efficacy of this product against liver fluke is reduced if
triclabendazole-resistant
strains are present.
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 bodyweight,
misadministration of the product, or lack of calibration of the dosing
device
(if any).
