which

a

when reexposure to parasite infection occurs.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
Studies indicate that when ivermectin comes in contact with the soil,
it
readily and tightly binds to the soil and becomes inactive over time.
Drug
containers and any residual contents should be disposed of safely, in
accordance
with
local,
provincial
and
national
regulations.
Free
ivermectin may adversely affect fish or certain water-borne organisms.
CAUTION
Coughing, which usually lasts for only a few minutes, may occur in
a small percentage of sheep immediately after treatment; this
passing response is of no consequence.
