Albendazole + Cobalt + Selenium

Albendazole (like other benzimidazoles) prevents fumarate reductase enzyme effect resulting stop ATP production then consequently muscular paralysis and finally parasite death. Selenium and cobalt are trace elements which is used as nutritional supplements.

A broad spectrum multipurpose anthelmintic for the control of mature and developing immature forms of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms and adult liver fluke in cattle and sheep. The product is also ovicidal against fluke and roundworm eggs.

In cattle it is active against the following species: Roundworms: Ostertagia, Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Nematodirus, Oesophagostomum, Bunostomum, Cooperia and Strongyloides spp. It is usually effective against inhibited larvae of Cooperia and Ostertagia. Lungworms: Dictyocaulus viviparus.Tapeworms: Moniezia spp.

Adult Liver Fluke: Fasciola hepatica.The product is ovicidal and will kill fluke and roundworm eggs, thus reducing pasture contamination. In sheep it is active against benzimidazole susceptible strains of the following species: Roundworms: Ostertagia, Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Nematodirus (including N. battus),Chabertia and Oesophagostomum. It is usually effective against inhibited larvae of Ostertagia. Lungworms: Dictyocaulus filaria. Tapeworms: Moniezia spp. Adult liver fluke: Fasciola hepatica.The product is ovicidal and will kill fluke and roundworm eggs, thus reducing pasture contamination.

Cattle: For the control of roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms and fluke and roundworm eggs. Dosage: 7.5 mg albendazole per kg. Equates to 30 ml per 100kg.

For the additional treatment of adult liver fluke (chronic fascioliasis) in cattle. Dosage: 10 mg albendazole per kg. Equates to 40 ml per 100kg/bodyweight.

Sheep: For the control of roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms, fluke and roundworm eggs. Dosage: 5 mg albendazole per kg. Equates to 10 ml per 50kg sheep. For the additional treatment of adult liver fluke (chronic fascioliasis) in sheep. Dosage: 7.5 mg albendazole per kg. Equates to 15ml per 50kg bodyweight. Administration with a suitable drenching gun is recommended.

Cattle suffering from severe lung damage due to heavy lungworm infestation may continue to cough for some weeks after treatment. 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). Not to be diluted or mixed with other products. Do not administer other cobalt and selenium supplements concurrently unless specifically advised by your veterinary

surgeon. Avoid direct contact with the product .Wear suitable protective clothing including impermeable rubber gloves. Wash hands after use.

The use of the product in breeding bulls or pregnant cattle is not expected to interfere with their reproductive performance.

Do not dose ewes at the ‘fluke and worm’ dose rate (7.5 mg/kg), during tupping(mating) or for 1 month after removing the rams. Can be safely used during lactation.

For oral administration only use properly calibrated dosing equipment. To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked. Shake the container before use.

Cattle must not be slaughtered for human consumption until 14 days after the last treatment. Sheep must not be slaughtered for human consumption until 4 days after the last treatment. Milk intended for human consumption may be taken from cows only after 60 hours from the last treatment. Not for use in sheep producing milk for human consumption.

Not known. Concurrent administration of ionophores and this product may therefore lead to an increased risk of selenium toxicity.

Known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.

Keep in dry place and below 25° C. Keep out of reach of children.
