TELMIN GRANULES
Contra-indications,
warnings, etc
When used in donkeys at the
higher dose rate of 15–20 mg/kg daily, the product should not be
administered within the first 4 months after service.
Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because
they increase the risk of development of resistance and could
ultimately result in ineffective therapy:
•Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same
class, over an extended period of time.
•Underdosing, which may be due to underestimation of bodyweight,
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
mebendazole (a benzimidazole) has been reported in cyathostomes
in horses within the EU. Therefore the use of this product
should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological
information about susceptibility of nematodes and
recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance
to anthelmintics.
To reduce this risk, dosing programmes should be discussed with
your veterinary surgeon.
