Prohibit Soluble Drench Powder, 52 g Packet

A 52 g packet of Prohibit levamisole powder for preparing an oral drench for cattle or sheep. Mix and dose only by the current label directions.

A packet for a planned flock or herd treatment

Prohibit Soluble Drench Powder is a water-soluble levamisole product labeled for cattle and sheep. The 52 g packet is intended to be mixed into a drench solution before administration. It is not a ready-to-use liquid and should not be measured out as if it were a pre-mixed dose. The package works for keepers who need to prepare a treatment batch for animals whose weights and treatment plan have already been established. The label specifies different dilution volumes for cattle and sheep, so keep the species-specific instructions in view while preparing it. The concentrate can also be used with an automatic drenching syringe when prepared as directed. This format is useful for a multi-animal job where the keeper needs to mix a measured quantity, clean the equipment, and work through the group in a controlled sequence. It still requires accurate animal weights and equipment set up for oral drenching. A feed scoop, household spoon, or guess based on the size of the animal is not a substitute for weighing and following the label. The label identifies levamisole hydrochloride as the active ingredient and names susceptible stomach, intestinal, and lung worms in cattle and sheep. It is not a general parasite treatment for every species or every worm. Product selection should follow the animals' species, parasite history, and veterinary guidance. A fecal test and a treatment plan can help determine whether this product fits the need, especially where animals have been treated repeatedly. Keep records of the product, date, animals treated, weights, and any follow-up assessment so the next decision is based on the herd's actual history. The manufacturer cautions that underdosing can reduce effectiveness and encourage resistance. The packet should therefore be used only when the keeper can apply the full label dose to animals with current weight estimates. Avoid using it as a substitute for diagnosis when animals are losing condition, weak, or otherwise ill. The label includes specific slaughter waiting periods for cattle and sheep and a restriction for dairy animals of breeding age to prevent milk residues. It also warns against use in severely debilitated animals without veterinary consultation. Those details matter when choosing a dewormer for animals entering the food supply. Before mixing, read the full package label, check each animal's weight, and confirm that the intended species and production status fit the directions. Use a clean drench container and calibrated equipment; avoid contaminating the solution during preparation. Store the unopened packet in its original packaging and keep the label available for anyone helping with treatment. If the remaining packet will not be used as instructed, keep it away from feed and water and follow local disposal requirements. The small packet is convenient to store, but it still contains a concentrated animal drug that needs careful handling and a correctly planned use.

Directions for use

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

CATTLE–STANDARD DRENCH SOLUTION: Place the contents of this packet in a 1 quart (32 fl. oz.) container, fill with water, swirl until dissolved. Administer as a single drench dose according to the following table:

SHEEP–STANDARD DRENCH SOLUTION: Place the contents of this packet in a 1 gallon (128 fl. oz.) container, fill with water, swirl until dissolved. Administer as a single drench dose according to the following table:

CONCENTRATED DRENCH SOLUTION: For use with automatic syringe. Place the contents of this packet in a standard household measuring container and add water to the 8 3/4 fl. oz. level; or use the measuring container available from your supplier and add water to the mark. Swirl until dissolved. Give 2 ml (milliliter) per 100 lb. body weight. Refer to the table above for the number of cattle this packet will treat.

CONCENTRATED DRENCH SOLUTION: For use with automatic syringe. Place the contents of this packet in a standard household measuring container and add water to the 17 1/2 fl. oz. level. Swirl until dissolved. Give 2 ml per 50 lb. body weight. Refer to the table above for the number of sheep this packet will treat.

Do not underdose. Ensure each animal receives a complete dose based on a current body weight. Underdosing may result in ineffective treatment, and encourage the development of parasite resistance. NOTE: Careful weight estimates are essential for proper performance of this product. Prepare solutions as needed. However, excess solutions may be stored in clean closed containers up to 90 days without loss of anthelmintic activity. Cattle and Sheep maintained under conditions of constant helminth exposure may require re-treatment within two to four weeks after the first treatment.

Cautions

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Restricted Drug (California) Use Only as Directed. RESIDUE WARNING: Do not administer to cattle within 48 hours of slaughter for food. Do not administer to sheep within 72 hours of slaughter for food. To prevent residues in milk, do not administer to dairy animals of breeding age. OTHER WARNINGS: Parasite resistance may develop to any dewormer, and has been reported for most classes of dewormers. Treatment with a dewormer used in conjunction with parasite management practices appropriate to the geographic area and the animal(s) to be treated may slow the development of parasite resistance. Fecal examinations or other diagnostic tests and parasite management history should be used to determine if the product is appropriate for the herd/flock, prior to the use of any dewormer. Following the use of any dewormer, effectiveness of treatment should be monitored (for example, with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test or another appropriate method). A decrease in a drug's effectiveness over time as calculated by fecal egg count reduction tests may indicate the development of resistance to the dewormer administered. Your parasite management plan should be adjusted accordingly based on regular monitoring. CAUTION: Muzzle foam may be observed. However, this reaction will disappear within a few hours. If this condition persists, a veterinarian should be consulted. Follow recommended dosage carefully. Consult veterinarian before using in severely debilitated animals. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.
