VALBAZEN®
(albendazole oral suspension)

Broad-Spectrum Dewormer

Approved by FDA under NADA # 110-048

Cattle and sheep: Valbazen is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic effective in the removal and control of liver flukes, tapeworms, stomach worms (including 4th stage inhibited larvae of Ostertagia ostertagi), intestinal worms, and lungworms as indicated below.

Goats: For the treatment of adult liver flukes in nonlactating goats.

Valbazen Suspension should be administered to cattle and goats at the recommended rate of 4 mL/100 lb of body weight (equivalent to 4.54 mg of albendazole/lb, 10 mg/kg) and to sheep at the recommended rate of 0.75 mL/25 lb of body weight (equivalent to 3.4 mg of albendazole/lb, 7.5 mg/kg). The following table indicates recommended dosing schedules. Do not underdose. Ensure each animal receives a complete dose based on a current body weight. Underdosing may result in ineffective treatment, and encourage the development of parasite resistance.

Cattle: 1 liter of Valbazen 11.36% Suspension will treat 50 animals weighing 500 lb.

Sheep: 1 liter of Valbazen 11.36% Suspension will treat 664 animals weighing 50 lb.

Goats: 1 liter of Valbazen 11.36% Suspension will treat 500 animals weighing 50 lb.

Valbazen 11.36% Suspension should be given orally using any type of standard dosing gun or dose syringe.

Accurate estimates of the weight of the cattle, sheep, and goats to be treated are essential for most effective results with this product. Animals constantly exposed to internal parasites should be retreated as necessary.

Cattle must not be slaughtered within 27 days following last treatment. Sheep and Goats must not be slaughtered within 7 days following last treatment. Because a withdrawal time in milk has not been established, do not use in female dairy cattle of breeding age. Do not use in lactating does.

Parasite resistance may develop to any dewormer, and has been reported for most classes of dewormers. Treatment with a dewormer used in conjunction with parasite management practices appropriate to the geographic area and the animal(s) to be treated may slow the development of parasite resistance. Fecal examinations or other diagnostic tests and parasite management history should be used to determine if the product is appropriate for the herd/flock, prior to the use of any dewormer. Following the use of any dewormer, effectiveness of treatment should be monitored (for example, with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test or another appropriate method). A decrease in a drug’s effectiveness over time as calculated by fecal egg count reduction tests may indicate the development of resistance to the dewormer administered. Your parasite management plan should be adjusted accordingly based on regular monitoring.

Do not administer to female cattle during first 45 days of pregnancy or for 45 days after removal of bulls. Do not administer to ewes or does during the first 30 days of pregnancy or for 30 days after removal of rams or bucks. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.
