Vetrimec Plus should be given only by subcutaneous injection at a dose volume of 1 mL per 110 lb (50 kg) body weight. This volume will deliver 10 mg ivermectin and 100 mg clorsulon. For example:
Body Weight Dose Volume 220 2 330 3 440 4 550 5 660 6 770 7 880 8 990 9 1100 10 Administration:
Vetrimec Plus (ivermectin and clorsulon) is to be given subcutaneously only. Animals should be appropriately restrained to achieve the proper route of administration. Use of a 16-gauge, 1/2" to 3/4" sterile needle is recommended. Inject the solution subcutaneously (under the skin) behind the shoulder (see illustration).
When using the 500 mL or 1000 mL pack size, use only automatic syringe equipment.
Use sterile equipment and sanitize the injection site by applying a suitable disinfectant. Clean, properly disinfected needles should be used to reduce the potential for injection site infections.
No special handling or protective clothing is necessary.
The viscosity of the product increases in cool temperatures. Administering Vetrimec Plus at temperatures of 5C (41F) or below may be difficult. Users can make dosing easier by warming both the product and injection equipment to about 15C (59F).
Use within 28 days of first puncture and puncture a maximum of 14 times with a dosage delivery device.
Animal Safety:
In breeding animals (bulls and cows), ivermectin and clorsulon used at the recommended level had no effect on breeding performance.
Warning:
NOT FOR USE IN HUMANS.
Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children.
The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) contains more detailed occupational safety information. To report adverse effects, obtain an SDS or for assistance, contact Bimeda, Inc. at 1-888-524-6332.
Residue Warning:
Do not treat cattle within 21 days of slaughter. Because a withdrawal time in milk has not been established, do not use in female dairy cattle of breeding age. A withdrawal period has not been established for this product in pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.
Preacautions:
Transitory discomfort has been observed in some cattle following subcutaneous administration. Soft tissue swelling at the injection site has also been observed. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Divide doses greater than 10 mL between two injection sites to reduce occasional discomfort or site reaction. Different injection sites should be used for other parenteral products.
Vetrimec Plus has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result.
For subcutaneous injection in cattle only.
This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use.
Restricted Drug (California) - Use Only as Directed.
When to Treat Cattle with Grubs:
Vetrimec Plus effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season.
Destruction of Hypoderma larvae (cattle grubs) at the period when these grubs are in vital areas may cause undesirable host-parasite reactions including the possibility of fatalities. Killing Hypoderma lineatum when it is in the tissue surrounding the esophagus (gullet) may cause bloat; killing H. bovis when it is in the vertebral canal may cause staggering or paralysis. These reactions are not specific to treatment with Vetrimec Plus, but can occur with any successful treatment of grubs. Cattle should be treated either before or after stages of grub development. Consult your veterinarian concerning the proper time for treatment.
Cattle treated with Vetrimec Plus after the end of the heel fly season may be retreated with ivermectin during the winter for internal parasites, mange mites, or sucking lice, without danger of grub-related reactions. A planned parasite control program is recommended.
Protect product from light.
Storage:
Store at 20C to 25C (68F to 77F).
