Trodax no longer available

I know some farms are very bad for it I guess were fortunate in not having a problem like that

It appears to vary a bit every year. Some years are worse than others. One of the young vets was willing to do a test on various products to see what worked the best as far as clearing it out of them but one of his senior colleagues thought it was more bother than it was worth.
Everything has some resistance apart from closantel here

We acquired some land a few years ago which to me looked "flukey". We tested that year and they had fluke and we treated it. The following year we treated them as a routine. The year after I tested them again and there was no fluke. That has been the same for the last 2 years. I will continue to test them but without doing that I would have been dosing them unnecessarily. I don't know why there should be this variation from year to year, I always thought if you had fluke it would always be there. It's not as if the last 2 years have been dry

@neilo I hope you have your PMSG already in the fridge. Two 7500iu vials of Stimovar just set me back 165 quid (inc vat) after pay on the day discount from my vet.

I’ve had 10 bottles sat in my fridge since the Spring, after a heads up from my ET vet.
I didn’t think sponges and CIDRs would get short too, especially as PMSG was going to get hard to source.

Local dog poisoner will be distraught, trodax was his weapon of choice.

Vet has been in touch, they can import Fascionix 34%, a Dutch Trodax/nitroxynil equivalent, slightly more expensive than Trodax but probably because it’s only available in 100ml bottles, ewes will get their winter jab after all

I was asking my rep. about this a couple weeks ago and they are looking to import this, too.

It is Trodax, by another name - which we knew/suspected anyway. Seemingly Trodax has only been withdrawn in UK (hence you can still get this product abroad).

Green stained everything will make a nice difference to yellow

I luckily overbought last year so I’ve got 3 bottles in the cupboard with October 22 date.
It’s extremely frustrating when it’s the more effective drugs that are pulled.
it would probably do the industry more good to stop selling TBZ products

Excellent for dispatching a ewe too if you're competent at getting it in a vain, or that's what they tell me anyway, I wouldn't know about such things.

For your information….

The local vet got me 2.5L of Fascionix no problem, slightly more expensive than Trodax ( although cheaper than some of the online prices I saw for Trodax before), probably as it’s only available in 250ml individual glass bottles.
Dose rate is the same, the stuff is still red, and still stains everything yellow, but on the plus side the stopper on the bottle makes a good seal and doesn’t leak all over the pace…..still managed to come back in today looking like I had severe jaundice tho

The same active ingredient, at the same strength is marketed by Kepro in Holland:

Wonder if it’s just rebranded Trodax?

Be careful purchasing medicines that are not licensed for use in the UK!!

As I posted on another thread on this, it can be imported perfectly legally with a Special Import Certificate which the vet can get online.
I don’t think anyone has suggested sourcing anything illegally, under the counter, etc.

Why?

I was jagging ewes again with fascionix today and noticed on the translated info sheet that comes with it, that at the standard rate of 1ml/35kg it kills adult fluke, but also claims that an increased dose of 1.25ml/35kg also kills immature fluke in cases of acute disease. I don’t remember that on trodax?
