What's the withdrawal gone upto?
Do you really need to worm at the same time? Must it be an injection?
Flukiver (Closantel) drench is 42 day withdrawal
Trodax injection is 49 days
Triclacert (triclabendazole) drench is 56 days (IIRC)
EDIT;
Most important question what are you doing - sheep or cattle??

Looked at this myself i still dont understand how triclamox is 35 days or fasimec duo 27 days when both active fluke ingredient is triclabendazole which is 56 days if used itself. Fasimec will just clean out worms and triclamox will offer a month protection iirc.
Cattle some of which would be fit before a long withdrawal
Closamectin was a good option at 28 days
Plenty of it left on the shelf with 28day withdrawal

If stock are a month or so off being ready for slaughter, do they really need dosed fluke?

I presume they're in pens/lots... going by age and size sort out the biggest/best/closest to being killed. Put them into a pen/pens by themselves, don't dose them. Do all the rest you know will be kept longer.

Not sure fluke makes them cough...maybe lung worm

How does it make them cough? It knackers their liver
And dirty arses, get them wormed.
I know what your saying but you worm cattle that are coughing with normal wormer and it will not cure them, you worm them with a fluke wormer and it does

I don’t get it? I’ve never heard of fluke making cattle cough...lung worm yes

Get your hands dirty and get a few 5hit samples tested first then treat them accordingly, no point in squirting £££ down their throats if they don’t need it

Fluke doesn't make cattle cough, unless they are so bad with it that their immunity is gone and they are getting pneomonia, but by that time they'd be on deaths door with anemia due to shredded blood vessels in their liver.
Sounds like you maybe have a wormer resistance issue.
Which worming products are you finding not to be working and which fluke/worm combi products are working?
Cattle are doing ok atm so I am tempted to pick out the close to fat ones and do the rest
Sent some cattle last week and one had fluke BUT it was the one which had been in since Dec 2018 so had been fluked a couple of times with closamectin and bimectin
It definitely didn't look flukey
Next question is can a bullock get fluke from baled silage?
By the way the bullock that had come in from field couple of months ago and went same time was ok
Both bullocks were -U 3 grades

Always used closamectin twice a year on the calves, 8-10weeks after turnout and a month before weaning/selling in the autumn without a problem. Vet advised save money and use ordinary wormer(non fluke) for the spring worm, didnt work in my opinion so got them in and wormed again but with closamectin which cured the husky/flukey coughing. Never have much problem with pneumonia tbh
