SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
To date no resistance to oxyclozanide has been reported. Use of the
product should
be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about
susceptibility of
trematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for
resistance to
anthelmintics.
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
