ADVERSE REACTIONS

In some cases, a superficial desquamation of the cutaneous surface without any harmful secondary  effect may be observed within 15 days following the application of the product.
Levamisole appears to have few adverse effects in target animals when administered at the recommended doses.
The possible interaction with the receptors of the cells of the animal explains the undesirable effects, even the cases of poisoning.
These effects include: hypersalivation, tremors, abdominal pain, anorexia as well as convulsions, excitement, irritability, rapid breathing, dyspnea, frequent urination and defecation, collapse.
Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase may also cause muscarinic manifestations (constriction of the pupils, acceleration of gastrointestinal motility and bradycardia).
This product must be used with caution in severely debilitated animals or in animals with severe renal or hepatic impairment.
If you notice any serious effects or other effects not mentioned in this package leaflet, please inform your veterinary surgeon.

TARGET SPECIES

Bovine

DOSAGE FOR EACH SPECIES, ROUTE(S) AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

Young and adult animals:

Each treatment is constituted of a single administration of the drug by pouring along the backbone of the animal.

Usual dosis:

5 ml for 100 kg BW, means 10 mg Levamisole per Kg BW
Do not exceed 30 ml for a bovine of more than 600 kg.

Way of administration

For external use (pour on method), QUADROSOL® pour on must be poured with the recommended dose in dorso-lumbar area, on the skin of the animals to be treated without rubbing or brushing, the point of application.
An important risk of overdose is present, especially in calves. To reduce this risk of overdose, the body weight of the animal should be determined as accurately as possible prior to  the application of the product and the accuracy of the metering device should be checked.
If the animals are treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped and treated according to their body weight in order to avoid under- or overdose

ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION

  • For each anthelmintic treatment, it is recommended to deworm all animals exposed to the same conditions of stabulation.
  • The product penetrates spontaneously through the skin, do not rub, nor brush, the point of application.

WITHDRAWAL PERIOD

SPECIAL STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

Shelf-life after first opening the container: the solution remains stable until the expiry date appearing after the initials EXP.

SPECIAL WARNING(S)

The following practices should be avoided as they increase the risk of developing resistance, which may ultimately lead to ineffective treatment:

  • - frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class over a long period
  • - under-dosage, which may result from under-estimation of the weight of the animals, incorrect administration of the product or lack of calibration of the dosing device (if any)

Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be investigated further by appropriate tests (eg Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). When the results of the tests strongly suggest a resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic of another pharmacological class and with a different mode of action should be used.
Levamisole resistance has been reported for Ostertagia ostertagi in cattle. Therefore, use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information on the susceptibility of these helminths andon  recommendations on how to limit anthelmintic resistance selection.
