Levacide Injection is safe for use in cattle and sheep at the recommended dosages. However, if the recommended dose rates are exceeded, animals may exhibit signs of impaired motor function such as muscle tremors, head shaking and increased salivation which are of a temporary nature.
Although normally non-irritant, Levacide Injection may occasionally cause local reaction at the site of the injection; this should resolve naturally in a short period of time.
Care should be taken to estimate accurately the bodyweight of animals to be treated before calculating the dosage.
The product may be administered to pregnant or lactating animals but care should be taken when treating heavily pregnant animals or animals suffering stress from adverse weather conditions, poor nutrition, penning, handling etc.
Cattle must not be treated within a period of 14 days before or after treatment with organophosphorus compounds.
Veterinary advice should be sought on appropriate dosing programmes and stock management to achieve adequate parasite control and to reduce the likelihood of anthelmintic resistance developing.
Veterinary advice should be sought if the product does not achieve the desired clinical effect since other diseases, nutritional disturbances or anthelmintic resistance might be involved.
