Amounts to be administered and administration route
The veterinary medicinal product is a ready-to-use solution which should be applied at the rate of 1 ml per 10 kg bodyweight up to a maximum of 40 ml.
Bodyweight | Dose |
Calves up to 100 kg | 10 ml |
101 to 200 kg | 20 ml |
201 to 300 kg | 30 ml |
Over 300 kg | 40 ml |
The veterinary medicinal product should be applied using either the calibrated dispensing chamber incorporated into the applicator bottle, or the flexi-pack with a Elanco Cattle Pour-On Gun.
Flies: Apply approximately one quarter of the calculated dose to the top of the head; the remainder should be poured along the neck and mid-backline.
A single dose is normally sufficient to control flies for up to 8 weeks. The first treatment should be carried out when the number of flies start to increase. In cases of heavy infestation, the dose may be repeated at 4 week intervals.
Lice: Apply in the same way as fly dosage. A single dose is normally sufficient to control all lice. In certain cases of heavy infestation, the dose may be repeated after 4 weeks.
Sarcoptic and chorioptic mange: The calculated dose should be applied directly to all visibly affected areas; any remaining should be poured along the backline in the normal way. The dose should be repeated after 4 weeks.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
Toxic signs in mammals are tremors, hyperexcitability, salivation, chorea, athetosis and paralysis. The signs disappear rapidly and the animals recover, generally within a week.
There is no specific antidote but symptomatic therapy can be given if considered necessary.
Withdrawal period(s)
Meat and offal: 3 days.
Milk: Cattle producing milk for human consumption should be treated immediately after milking to allow as long an interval as possible (at least 6 hours) before the next milking. There is no need to withhold milk from subsequent milkings.
