Cydectin Triclamox 1mg drench for Sheep should be used strategically against fluke

• Sheep should be treated in early spring to make sure all adult fluke are eliminated and that the egg shedding is reduced. This should be done before the population of snails increases. 
• The infective challenge of fluke begins to gain momentum in July and reaches it's peak in the autumn.
• It is important to make sure that that fluke does not make it onto your farm through new livestock that is introduced to your farm. New livestock must be quarantined and treated with a suitable flukicide.
• Wet areas should not be used for grazing at times of high risk from fluke.
• If your livestock persists to show signs of fluke infection after treatment you should seek professional help.

4.2 Indications for use, specifying the target species
For the treatment of mixed nematode and fluke infections in sheep, caused by moxidectin and triclabendazole
sensitive strains of:

The product has a persistent efficacy and protects sheep against infection or re-infection with the following parasites for the period indicated:

Species                                     Protection period (days)
Teladorsagia circumcincta                       35
Haemonchus contortus                           35

Clinical trials, after experimental and natural infection, have shown that the product is effective against certain benzimidazole resistant strains of:
.Haemonchus contortus
.Teladorsagia circumcincta
.Trichostrongylus colubriformis
.Cooperia curticei

4.3 Contraindications
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance(s) or to any of the excipient(s).

4.4 Special warnings for each target species
Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could
ultimately result in effective therapy:

Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an extended period of time.

Underdosing, which may be due to an 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).
Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological class and having a different mode of action should be used.

Resistance to macrocyclic lactones has been reported in Teladorsagia in sheep in a number of countries.

In 2008, throughout Europe, moxidectin resistance is very rare; it has been reported in a single case involving a levamisole-, benzimidazole and ivermectin-resistant strain of Teladorsagia circumcinta.

Resistance to trilabendazole has been reported in Fasciola hepatica in sheep in some European countries.
Therefore the use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of parasites, local history of treatments and recommendations on how to use the product under sustainable conditions to limit further selection for resistance to antiparasitic compounds.
These precautions are especially important when moxidectin is being used to control resistant strains.

4.5 Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals
This product should not be used for the treatment of single infections.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.
Wash hands after use.
Do not smoke, drink or eat when using this product.
Wear impermeable rubber gloves during use.

4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
None known.

4.7 Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
This product is safe for use in breeding animals. See also Section 4.11.

4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
None known.

4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route
Should be given as a single oral drench of 1 ml/5 kg bodyweight,
equivalent to 0.2 mg moxidectin/kg bodyweight and 10 mg triclabendazole/kg bodyweight, using any standard drenching equipment.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped according to their body weight
and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under- or overdosing.

4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
Signs of overdoses have not been seen at 3 and 5 times the recommended dose.
However, if they do occur they shouldmbe consistent with the mode of action of moxidectin and/or triclabendazole and would be manifested as transient salivation, depression, drowsiness, ataxia and reduced food intake 8 to 12 hours post-treatment.
Treatment is not generally necessary and recovery is generally complete within 1 to 5 days.
There is no specific antidote.

4.11 Withdrawal Period(s)
Meat and offal: 31 days
Milk: not authorised for use in ewes producing milk intended for human consumption including during the dry period. Do not use within 1 year prior to the first lambing in ewes intended to produce milk for human consumption.

5 PHARMACOLOGICAL or IMMUNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacotherapeutic group:
antiparasitic product, endectocide

ATC vet code :
QP 54 AB 52, moxidectin combination

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Moxidectin is an endectocide active against a wide range of internal and external parasites and is a second generation macrocyclic lactone of the milbemycin family.
Its principal mode of action is interfering with neuromuscular transmission of the GABA (gamma amino butyric acid)-gated or glutamate-gated chloride channels.
Moxidectin stimulates the release of GABA and increases its binding to the postsynaptic receptors, and binds to the glutamate-gated chloride channels.
The net effect is to open the chloride channels on the postsynaptic junction to allow the inflow of chloride ions and induce an irreversible resting state.
This results in flaccid paralysis and eventual death of parasites exposed to the drug.
Triclabendazole is a flukicide belonging to the benzimidazole group of anthelmintics.
It is well established that benzimidazole anthelmintics selectively bind to -tubulin, thus causing the depolymerisation of microtubules and the subsequent disruption of microtubule-based processes in helminths.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
Moxidectin is distributed throughout the body tissues but due to its lipophilicity the highest drug concentrations are obtained in fat tissue.
Moxidectin undergoes biotransformation by hydroxylation.
The only significant route of excretion is the faeces.
The main pharmacokinetic parameters of moxidectin when administered in the final formulation were the following:
AUCtot 58 ng.day.mL-1, Cmax 12 ng.mL-1 , T max : 6 hours and plasma half-life 3.5 days.
The majority of the oral dose of triclabendazole in rats, sheep, goats and rabbits is eliminated in faeces after 6-10 days, as unchanged drug or products of biliary excretion.
Urinary excretion is minimal.
Sulphone, sulphoxide, ketone and 4-hydroxy triclabendazole derivatives are the main metabolites identified in plasma. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the active metabolite triclabendazole sulfoxide when triclabendazone was administered in the final combined formulation were: UCtot 608 μg.h.mL-1, Cmax 10 μg.mL-1, Tmax 21 h and plasma half-life 20 h.

Drench correctly
Sheep Oral Drench
The drenching technique is a vital part of ensuring that the wormer does its job effectively.
Make sure the sheep are properly restrained and cannot leap around when they are being drenched so they swallow the whole amount.
Sheep can also suffer serious injury, or even death, if they are unrestrained and the gun penetrates the tissues at the back of the mouth.
Place a hand under the head and tilt slightly to the side.
Slot the nozzle in the gap between molar and incisor teeth and then over the back of the tongue.
If the wormer is just put into the mouth, it will bypass the rumen as it escapes down the oesophageal groove and will be less effective.
This is particularly important for white (BZ) drenches.

Dosing Weigh – do not guess Underestimating the weight of sheep is a common cause of underdosing. Select and weigh the biggest sheep in the group to determine the correct dose. If there is a wide range of weights, consider splitting the group, then weigh the heaviest in each section. Do not forget to check that the weigh crate is accurate before starting!

Calibrate and maintain the drench gun
Always check the gun is delivering the right amount before you drench. Remove the plunger from a 10 ml syringe, put a thumb over the end and squirt the dose into it, making sure there are no air bubbles left. Adjust the gun until the dose delivered is correct. Drenching guns should also be well maintained and replaced regularly. Clean with warm soapy water after use and check springs and tubes to make sure there are no kinks that will form air bubbles.

Withholding food
Research has shown that the efficacy of the white (BZ) and clear (AV) drenches can be improved by withholding food for 12–24 hours before treatment. It is not advised to deprive heavily pregnant ewes of food, so if you treat this class of stock with anthelmintics, you may wish to use yellow drenches (LV) because their efficacy is less dependent on rumen fill.

Storage
Wormers should be stored securely, away from direct sunlight at 4–25°C. Check the use-by date and, once open, use within the time shown on the packaging. Shake white (BZ) products well before use.
