• This product kills the tissue stages of Strongylus edentatus and at least 50% of the migrating stages of Strongylus vulgaris. 
• The ovicidal activity of this product ensures that 4-6 hours after dosing, virtually all roundworm eggs passed in the dung are rendered infertile, thus reducing the potential for further pasture contamination. 
• To be fully effective, a period of six hours should elapse before drenched animals are moved onto clean pasture. 
• If it is inconvenient to hold animals for six hours and then move them on the same day, they may be returned to an infected pasture overnight and then moved the following day
