In both 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
