Active Ingredients: Ivermectin @ 2g/L & Triclabendazole @ 120g/L
Fasimec Cattle Oral Flukicide is an oral Flukicide and broad-spectrum oral drench for treating and controlling liver fluke infection (fascioliasis), roundworms, lungworms and sucking lice in cattle.
Fasimec Cattle Oral Flukicide treats Triclabendazole-sensitive early immature, immature and mature liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) in cattle. It also treats and controls Ivermectin-sensitive strains of roundworms and lungworms (including benzimidazole, levamisole and morantel-resistant strains) and sucking lice in cattle.

Adult and immature (L4) stages of:
- Small brown stomach worm (Ostertagia ostertagi) (including inhibited stages)
- Barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus placei)
- Stomach hairworm (Trichostrongylus axei)
- Intestinal hair worm (Trichostrongylus colubriformis)
- Small intestinal worm (Cooperia spp.)
- Nodule worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum)
Adult stages of:
- Large bowel worm (Oesophagostomum venulosum)
- Whipworm (Trichuris spp.)
- Intestinal threadworm (Strongyloides papillosus)
Immature stages of:
- Thin-necked intestinal worm (Nematodirus spp.)

Why is Fasimec Cattle Oral Flukicide containing Ivermectin and Triclabendazole a good option;
Ivermectin and Triclabendazole are two commonly used medications in cattle drenches, which are administered orally to treat internal parasites in cattle. Here are some reasons why a cattle drench containing Ivermectin and Triclabendazole may be considered effective:
- Broad-spectrum activity: Ivermectin and Triclabendazole have a broad spectrum of activity against different types of internal parasites commonly found in cattle, including worms and liver flukes. They target various parasites and can help control multiple species simultaneously.
- Efficacy against resistant parasites: Internal parasites in cattle can develop resistance to certain drugs over time, making them less effective. However, Ivermectin and Triclabendazole are still considered effective against many resistant strains of parasites. Their use in combination can enhance their efficacy and reduce the likelihood of resistance.
- Synergistic effect: When Ivermectin and Triclabendazole are used together in a drench, they can have a synergistic effect, meaning their combined action is more potent than the sum of their individual effects. This can enhance the overall effectiveness of the drench in controlling parasites.
- Targeted action: Ivermectin primarily targets nematodes (roundworms) and external parasites like lice and mites, while Triclabendazole is especially effective against liver flukes. Combining these two medications in a drench can address multiple types of internal parasites that may be affecting the cattle.
