Triguard Triple Combination Drench for Sheep

Triguard Triple Combination Drench for Sheep controls and treats internal parasites of sheep, including those with single or dual resistance to macrocyclic lactones (including moxidectin resistant strains), benzimidazoles or imidazothiazoles (levamisole/morantel).

Active Ingredients: Abamectin @ 1.0 g/L, Oxfendazole @ 22.7 g/L, Levamisole 2 33.9 g/L (as levamisole hydrochloride), Selenium @ 0.5 g/L (as sodium selenate) & Cobalt 2.2 g/L (as cobalt disodium EDTA)

Where Barber’s Pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) is known to be resistant to macrocyclic lactones and benzimidazoles and imidazothiazoles (levamisole/morantel), Triguard may have limited efficacy.

Triguard Triple Combination Drench for Sheep also provides a selenium and cobalt supplement for sheep raised in selenium and/or cobalt-deficient areas.

Does Triguard Triple Combination Drench have broad-spectrum activity against resistant worms:

With high potency triple-combination protection, Triguard can deliver highly effective worm control even where high levels of resistance are present and over a broad spectrum of worms.

Triguard is active against sheep roundworms that have single or dual resistance to the ML (including moxidectin), benzimidazole or imidazothiazole (levamisole) families of chemicals.
