Not sure if this will be readable, from NADIS. Must be older as doesn't list Rycoben (albendazole) and Solantel (closantel).
We keep a copy about, handy when comparing prices.
Another wee caution we noticed to avoid if fluking within a few months of bolusing. Some fluke drench has Sel and Cobalt, IIRC Sel overdose can be toxic??? Prob not happen but best avoided. Think its only the albendazoles tho.

The Albendazole drenches at the fluke dosage rate aren't recommended for use during tupping or for at least a month after the tups are taken out.

Albendazole white wormers will only kill adult fluke - that should be remembered. It is no better than using Zanil, and should be used at the same times of year (when it is most likely there are adult fluke, but not immature)

Brilliant! Printing that out to attach to the Health Plan, saves a lot of faffing about when comparing prices.

Triclobenzadole here soon too (Fasinex). With the late autumn/early winter having been so warm here at times it wouldn't be surprising to find immature still on the go.
