Uses	Triclafas Drench is a flukicide for the specific treatment and control of the liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) infections in sheep.

Use unaltered product from the original container. Clean drenching equipment before and after use. To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosage device should be checked. Do not mix with other products.
Withdrawal Period	Sheep must not be slaughtered for human consumption during treatment. Sheep may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 56 days from the last treatment. Do not administer to sheep producing milk intended for human consumption.
Contraindictions, Warnings etc	Triclabendazole overdosage may produce transient inappetance and loss of bodyweight. Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy: Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an extended period of time. Underdosing which may be due to underestimation of body weight, misadministration of the product, or lack of calibration of the dosing device (if any). Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be further investigated using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological class and having a different mode of action should be used. Resistance to triclabendazole has been reported in Fasciola species in small ruminants in a number of countries including the EU. Therefore the use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of trematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics. Should not be used in sheep less than 7 weeks old. Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to triclabendazole. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash splashes from eyes and skin immediately. Take off immediately any contaminated clothing. Wash hands and exposed skin before meals and after work
