The product is effective against Hypoderma larvae at the time of treatment but its
persistent activity against Hypoderma has not been evaluated.
If the product is given before the end of the fly season complimentary treatment
with a product effective against Hypoderma may be required.
Persistent efficacy periods have not been established for parasite species other
than those included in the above list. Therefore re-infection of animals on pasture
contaminated by parasites other than these remains possible before the end of the
90 day minimum persistency period demonstrated for specific species.
