Store away from excessive heat (104 F/40 C) and protect from light.
Use only in well-ventilated areas or outdoors.
Close container tightly when not in use.
Cattle should not be treated when hair or hide is wet since reduced efficacy may be experienced.

best results BOVIMEC Pour-On should be part of a parasite control program for both internal and external parasites based on the epidemiology of these parasites. Consult your veterinarian or an entomologist for the most effective timing of applications.
BOVIMEC Pour-On effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season. While this is not peculiar to ivermectin, destruction of Hypoderma BOVIMEC Pour-On has been proved to effectively control infections and to protect cattle from larvae (cattle grubs) at the period when these grubs are in vital areas may cause undesirable host- re-infection with Ostertagia ostertagi, Oesophagostomum radiatum, Haemonchus placei, parasite reactions. Killing Hypoderma lineatum when it is in the esophageal tissues may cause bloat; Trichostrongylus axei, Cooperia punctata and Cooperia oncophora for 14 days after treatment.
killing H. bovis when it is in the vertebral canal may cause staggering or paralysis.
Cattle should be treated either before or after these stages of grub development.

Squeeze-Measure-Pour System (250 mL, 500 mL or 1 Liter Bottle with 25 mL Measuring Cap) Studies indicate that when ivermectin comes in contact with the soil, it readily and tightly binds to the Select the correct dose rate by rotating the adjuster cap in either direction to position the dose soil and becomes inactive over time. Free ivermectin may adversely affect fish or certain aquatic organisms. Do not permit cattle to enter lakes, streams or ponds for at least six hours after treatment.

Ivermectin is a member of the macrocylic lactone class of endectocides which have a qunique mode of action. Compounds of the class bind selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This leads to an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions with hyperpolarization of the nerve or mus- cle, resulting in paralysis and death of the parisite. Compounds of this class may also interact with other ligand-gated chloride channels, such as those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma- aminobutyric acid or GABA. The margin of safety for compounds of this class is attributable to the fact that mammals do not have the glutamate-gated chloride channel, the macrocyclic lactonas have a low affinity for mammalian ligand-gated chlorid channel and they do not readily cross the Studies conducted in the U.S.A. have demonstrated the safety margin for ivermectin. Based on plasma levels, the topically applied formulation is expected to be at least as well tolerated by breeding animals as is the subcutaneous formulation which had no effect on breeding performance.
