Levafas Diamond is a broad spectrum anthelmintic for use in the treatment and control of both gastro-intestinal (Stomach Worms) and pulmonary nematode (Lung Worm) infections and adult liver fluke infections in cattle and sheep only.

CATTLE - will control stomach worms and lungworms during the grazing season. Where season long control is required the dosing interval is about 3 weeks. Also controls adult liver fluke. Dose rate 12.5ml per 50kg bodyweight. Meat withdrawal 5 days.

SHEEP - 1.25ml per 5 kg bodyweight. Meat withdrawal 5 days.

Do NOT use in cattle or sheep producing milk for human consumption.

To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.

Levafas Diamond may be administered to pregnant or lactating animals. However, care should be taken when treating heavily pregnant animals, and animals under stress from adverse weather conditions, poor nutrition, penning, handling etc. The effects of Levamisole overdosage include impaired motor function i.e., muscle tremors, head shaking and increased salivation. These effects are transient and more likely to be found in cattle than in sheep.

At normal oxyclozanide dose levels, animals may show slight softening of the faeces with the occasional animal showing increased frequency of defecation and transient inappetence.

Oxyclozanide overdosage may produce inappetence and loss of bodyweight, dullness and some loosening of faeces in sheep, and possibly diarrhoea. These effects are occasionally enhanced in animals with severe liver damage and/or dehydration at the time of dosing.

Animals must not be treated within a period of 14 days before or after treatment with organophosphorus compounds.

In cases of lungworm infections, coughing may persist for a considerable time following successful treatment with Levafas Diamond. This is due to tissue damage caused by the parasites.After treatment, animals should be moved to clean pasture to prevent re-infection. Levamisole activity is not affected by benzimidazole resistance.
