ClosantelSheep dose, withdrawal and citation, from FieldDx’s free offline veterinary formulary.
What it’s for
Liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica), including immature stages from about 8 weeks old, and Haemonchus spp in sheep and cattle. Binds strongly to blood protein, so it persists in the body longer than oxyclozanide — which gives it greater activity against immature fluke, but a longer withholding period.
