The veterinary medicinal product must be applied with a manual or automatic dosing gun, fitted with a spray nozzle, which guarantees the correct spreading of the product on the fleece. Best results will be achieved by holding the gun approximately 45 cm from the sheep during application. Apply as a fan spray alongthe spine of the animal in bands at least 10 cm wide from the middle of the shoulders and in an arc around the crutch and tail. Half the dose should be applied along the spine with the remainder over the tail and crutch area.

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Other ectoparasiticides for topical use.
ATCvetcode:QP53AX24.
Pharmacodynamic properties
Dicyclanil prevents the moult from the first to the second larval instar of Lucilia spp. . It is less effective against later larval stages and does not have any adulticidal action. The modeof action of dicyclanil is believed to be similar to that of the triazine compounds.
Pharmacokinetic particulars
In studies with the 50mg/mlformulation, after 7 days post dosing, approximately 5% of the dose wasabsorbed and eliminated in urine and faeces. Peak blood levels were observed between 12 and 48h post dose, accounting for <0.025 mg dicyclanil equivalents/kg.
In experimental metabolism studies, absorbed drugwas widely distributed throughout the body. Longest half lives were found in liverandkidneybeing13and10daysrespectively.Inmuscle,fatand wool, unchanged dicyclanil was found to be the major residue, whereas in liver and kidney the descyclopropyl dicyclanil was found to be the major residue together with unchanged dicyclanil.
5.3 Environmental properties
Dicyclanil has the potential to cause harmful effects on aquatic invertebrates and dung fly larvae.
Following use of this product, levels of dicyclanil potentially harmful to dung fly larvae have been shown to be excreted in faeces for approximately 4 weeks. Faeces from treated animals may temporarily reduce the abundance of dung fly larvae which may impact on dung degradation.
