Special precautions for use in animals
The product was developed specifically for horses only. Dogs and cats may present with adverse reactions after ingestion of moxidectin concentration contained in the product, e.g. after ingestion of a spilled gel or through contact with the applicator used. Protect animals from direct contact with the product. The following procedures should be avoided as they increase a risk of resistance and may ultimately result in an ineffective therapy:
- Frequent and repeated use of anthelmintic drugs of the same group, or a long period of drug administration
- Underdosing due to incorrect setting of bodyweight, incorrect use of the product or inadequate calibration of the dosing device.
Using appropriate tests (e.g. egg count reduction test – FECRT), suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintic drugs should be assessed. When the test results confirm resistance to a specific anthelmintic drug, another anthelmintic drug of a different group having a different type of action should be used.
Special precautions for people administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals. The product may cause skin and eye irritation. Therefore avoid contact with skin or eyes. Personal protective equipment should be used when handling the veterinary medicinal product including protective gloves. If skin is affected, wash the affected area with water and soap. If eyes are affected, rinse them immediately with plenty of clean water. In case of irritation, seek medical help.
