Launch of Closamectin Pour on in Europe

The treatment of worms, fluke and lice, with greatly reduced stress to the animal and enhanced health and safety for the farmer or user, together with the added benefit of helping to break the fluke cycle by contributing towards the neutralisation of the fluke eggs, is now available in mainland Europe.  The product will be available from July onwards in 17 countries of the EU.  No other product available on the market today can offer all these benefits in one single dose at the same price.  The product has been tried and tested on more than 5 million animals in England and Ireland over the past 2 years, where it has been licensed and available on the market. Its arrival in mainland Europe is being greeted with joy and enthusiasm.  Never before has so much been available from one product in the treatment of parasites with such ease of administration and health and safety to the user.  This revolutionary product Closamectin Pout On is unique in Europe.  Immediately bringing the only 4-in-1 treatment to the farmer in his quest to improve the health of his livestock, his financial returns, his health and safety, helping to break the reproductive cycle of fluke, and it is the ultimate in animal welfare.  

Goran Wilhelm, European Sales Director of Norbrook Laboratories Ltd comments: “Norbrook is delighted that we are now in a position to launch Closamectin Pour on throughout Europe.  This is a product which cattle farmers have been searching for for years and will completely transform how they manage the increasingly difficult problem of fluke, worms and lice, with minimum stress to animals and a huge step in the answer to health and safety of handling livestock.”

Closamectin Pour on is a unique combination of Ivermectin, a broad spectrum effective anti-parasiticide, and Closantel, a powerful, early acting flukicide which is administered by simply  pouring it on a narrow strip directly along the back of the animal.  “The extent of Closamectin’s capability in treating fluke, worm and lice and the simplicity of how is it administered is what makes this product so special and so sought-after,” adds Mr Wilhelm   “No other product on the market offers farmers a “one-stop-shop” solution which reduces  stress to the animal, helps with health and safety to the farmer, yet it treats lice, roundworms, mature and late immature fluke, and at the same time helps to break the cycle of fluke by neutralising the eggs.  No other product available on the market today in Europe can come close to offering the benefits of this unique product in one dose at the price at which it is available.  The question is asked by those who have used it “Is it the Holy Grail of anthelmintic products?”.”

Closamectin Pour on has been available in the UK and Ireland since 2009 with in excess of 5 million animals treated since its launch.  “The instant success of Closamectin Pour on in the UK and Ireland offers farmers in Europe reassurance that this product provides efficiency, efficacy and safety,” continues Mr Wilhelm.  “Farmers can purchase Closamectin Pour on and veterinarians can recommend it with the confidence that the product has been tried and tested with success in the UK and Ireland.”

Closamectin Pour on will be rolled out across Europe from July 2011
