Vimectanin DUO 

Homogeneous, white, opaque suspension.

Treatment of simultaneous trematode (fluke) and nematode (gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms) or trematode (fluke) and arthropod infections in the following cases:

- Gastrointestinal nematodes (adult and immature): Haemonchus contortus Teladorsagia (Ostertagia) circumcinta

- Trichostrongylus spp Cooperia spp,

- Nematodirus spp. including N. Battus Strongyloides papillosus Oesophagostomum spp and adult Chabertia ovina,

For oral use. The recommended dose rate is 0.2 mg ivermectin and 10 mg triclabendazole/kg bodyweight, equivalent to 2 ml of the product per 10 kg bodyweight. Underdosing could result in ineffective use and may favour resistance development. To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible. If animals are to be treated collectively, reasonably homogeneous groups should be set up, and all animals of a group should be dosed at the rate corresponding to the heaviest one. The product is for oral administration using a suitably calibrated dosing gun. Accuracy of the dosing device should be thoroughly checked. The container should be shaken for 1 minute before use. Drenching equipment should be cleaned before and after use. The timing for treatment should be based on epidemiological factors and should be customised for each individual farm. As with other anthelmintics, veterinary advice should be sought on appropriate dosing programmes and stock management to achieve adequate parasite control and reduce the likelihood of resistance developing. For infections with parasites listed at the indications, the need for and frequency of retreatment(s) should be based on professional advice and should take into account the local epidemiological situation and the animal’s lifestyle.
