The product is mainly used in cattle farming for protecting animals from parasite burdens that can impact growth, milk production, and general health. eprinex multi pour-on

Mechanism of Action:

Eprinomectin works by disrupting the nervous system of the parasites, causing them to become paralyzed and die. This action occurs through the increase of chloride ion permeability across cell membranes, making it difficult for the parasites to maintain muscle and nerve function. eprinex multi rcp​

Dosage and Administration:
Eprinex Multi is available as a pour-on solution, which is applied topically along the animal’s back, from the withers to the tailhead.
Cattle: The recommended dose is 1 mL per 10 kg of body weight. The solution spreads over the animal’s skin and hair, absorbed transdermally, reaching the bloodstream to target parasites.
Sheep and Goats: Dosage may vary based on specific formulation recommendations, and a veterinarian should be consulted for precise dosing.
Administration is simple: Just pour the solution along the back of the animal. There is no need for injections, which makes it a less stressful application for livestock.

Benefits of Eprinex Multi:

Zero Milk Withdrawal: One of the major benefits of Eprinex Multi is that it has no withdrawal period for milk in dairy cattle. This means treated animals can continue to be milked without concerns about drug residues entering the milk.
No Meat Withdrawal: In certain formulations, there is also no meat withdrawal period in cattle, making it highly convenient for farmers. eprinex multi pour-on

Side Effects:
eprinex multi rcp​ is generally well-tolerated when used as directed. However, possible side effects may include:

Skin Reactions: Mild irritation or hair loss at the application site.
Toxicity in Non-Target Species: The active ingredient, eprinomectin, is toxic to certain non-target species like fish and aquatic invertebrates, so care must be taken when disposing of empty containers or unused product.

Precautions:

Species-Specific: Eprinex multi pour-on is designed for use in cattle, sheep, and goats. Its use in other animals, particularly companion animals like dogs, should be avoided unless explicitly stated by a veterinarian.
Avoid Contact with Skin: While handling the product, avoid direct skin contact and wear protective clothing.
Environmental Considerations: As mentioned earlier, eprinomectin is toxic to aquatic life, so care must be taken when handling or disposing of the product to avoid environmental contamination.
Pregnancy and Lactation: Safe for use in pregnant and lactating animals with no need for withdrawal from milk or meat production.

Storage:
Store Eprinex Multi in a cool, dry place, protected from light. Keep the product tightly closed when not in use and away from children.

Resistance Concerns:
Antiparasitic Resistance: Overuse of antiparasitic treatments can lead to resistance in parasites, meaning that treatments become less effective over time. To mitigate this, it’s recommended to rotate different classes of antiparasitic drugs, and only use treatments when necessary based on veterinary advice.

Availability:
It is available from veterinary supply stores, online retailers, and through veterinarians. It is typically sold in large volume containers for easy application on herds. eprinex multi rcp​
