Species for which it is recommended:

Bovines (calves, steers/heifers, bulls/non-lactating cows).

Administration route:

Subcutaneous only. Using 16 gauge needle.

Dosage:

In bovines 630 µg of ivermectin / kg of live weight. In practice, 1 mL of IVERFIGA 3,15% L.A. for every 50 kg of body weight.

For more than 300 kg, administer 1 mL for every 50 kg of weight.

Withdrawal time:

Persistence:

IVERFIGA 3.15% L.A. contributes to the control of reinfestation of the following parasites: Haemonchus placei, Trichostrongylus axei and Cooperia sp. for 42 days; Ostertagia ostertagi and Oesophagostomum radiatum for 49 days; Dictyocaulus viviparus for 63 days; ticks of the genus Rhipicephalus microplus for 75 days; Psoroptes communis var bovis for 56 days; Dermatobia hominis (nuche or torsalo) for 140 days, during this period of time the number of lesions observed will have a reduction of more than 90% compared to the control without treatment.

Cautions:

• Do not apply intravenously.
• Do not apply more than 10 mL per injection site.
• Do not reuse the containers, nor pour their contents into sources of water for human or animal consumption (streams, lakes or rivers).
• Keep at a temperature below 30 °C, protected from sunlight.

Warnings:

• Do not use in cows that are close to calving or breeding, given the sensitivity of neonates to ivermectin.
• Do not administer to calves less than three months of age, as alterations in the CNS and damage to the esophagus may result.

Drug Interactions:

The concomitant use of GABA agonists, such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines, is not recommended due to the potentiation of their effects.
