4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
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.
Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be
further investigated
using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). Where
