IMAVEROL WASH

Imaverol is a synthetic antimycotic. It is recommended for the treatment of dermatomycoses or ringworm in cattle, horses and dogs, and contained pathogenic fungi such as Trichophyton verrucosum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton equinum, Microsporum canis and Microsporum gypseum.

The concentrated Imaverol solution should be diluted by adding one part to 50 parts of warm water, to provide a 0.2% w/v emulsion.

Dermatophytes will extend into the hair follicles. Possible crusts must therefore be removed with a hard brush, which has been soaked in the diluted Imaverol emulsion. It is highly recommended that the animal be sprayed entirely at the first treatment so as to reach the subclinical lesions as well.

Cattle

Depending on the nature of the lesions, cattle should be treated 3 to 4 times at 3-day intervals. The animals should either be washed with the diluted emulsion or the emulsion should be applied to them with a sprayer or high-pressure cleaning unit.

Horse

The lesions and surrounding skin should be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times, at 3-day intervals.

Dog

The animals should be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times, at 3-day intervals. While doing this, one should rub thoroughly in the direction opposite to the hair growth to make sure that the skin is thoroughly wet. For the same reason, it is recommended that long-haired dogs be clipped before treatment. Alternatively dogs may be dipped thoroughly in a bath containing the prepared emulsion.

To assist in prevention of re-infection & contamination with ringworm spores, wash or spray all stable equipment including girth straps, saddles, harnesses, bridles, halters, riding boots etc.  Wash or spray all equipment used for dogs, such as brushes, blankets, baskets etc.

Cautions:

• Avoid contact with eyes and skin when preparing spray or wash, and wear face shield or goggles.  After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water.  After each day's use, wash face shield or goggles.
• First Aid: If poisoning occurs, contact a Poisons Information Centre.  If swallowed & more than 15 minutes from a hospital, induce vomiting, preferably using Ipecac syrup.
