Fluconix 34% is a bright, orange-red solution for injection containing 340 mg/ml nitroxynil for the treatment of fascioliasis (infestation of mature and immature Fasciola hepatica) in cattle and sheep. It is also effective if used at the recommended dosage rate, against adult and larval infestations of barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) in cattle and sheep. However, Fluconix should not be regarded or used as a broad spectrum anthelmintic.
Active Ingredient: Nitroxynil
Target Species: Cattle & Sheep
Treats & Controls: Liver Fluke.
Side Effects: Small swellings are occasionally observed at the injection site in cattle. These can be avoided by injecting the dose in two separate sites and massaging well to disperse the solution. No systemic ill effects are to be expected when animals (including pregnant cows and ewes) are treated at normal dosage.
Method of Administration: Subcutaneous Injection.
Dosage: The standard dosage is 10 mg nitroxinil per kg body weight.
Sheep: Administer according to the following doses scale:
14 - 20 kg 0.5 ml 41 - 55 kg 1.5 ml
21 - 30 kg 0.75 ml 56 - 75 kg 2.0 ml
31 - 40 kg 1.0 ml > 75 kg 2.5 ml
In outbreaks of fascioliasis each sheep in the flock should be injected immediately when the presence of the disease is recognised, repeating treatment as necessary throughout the period when infestation is occurring, at intervals of not less than one month. Cattle: 1.5 ml of Fluconix-340 per 50 kg of bodyweight. Both infected and in-contact animals should be treated, treatment being repeated as considered necessary, though not more frequently than once per month. Dairy cows should be treated at drying off (at least 28 days before
calving).
Note: Do not use in animals producing milk for human consumption
Withdrawal Period: Cattle 60days and Sheep 49days.
