Do not administer by the intravenous or intramuscular route. 4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES Treatment of psoroptic mange (sheep scab) with one injection is not recommended, because although clinical improvement may be seen elimination of all mites may not occur. Sheep scab (_Psoroptes ovis_) is an extremely contagious external parasite of sheep. Following treatment of infected sheep great care must be taken to avoid re-infestation, as mites may be viable for up to 15 days off the sheep. It is important to ensure all sheep which have been in contact with infected sheep are treated. Contact between treated, infected and non-treated, non-infected flocks must be avoided until at least 7 days after the last treatment.
