Ivomec Plus is the injectable ivermectin with clorsulon added, which brings adult liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) into the same treatment. On fluke country that saves a separate drench, and clorsulon gives you a non-triclabendazole active to rotate with — worth having as triclabendazole resistance spreads.
The limitation is stage of fluke: clorsulon acts on adult fluke, so it is a tool for mature burdens rather than an early-immature knockdown. Supplied in 500ml and 1L.
See also Ivomec Injection where fluke cover is not needed.
Key points
- Ivermectin 10 mg/mL + clorsulon 100 mg/mL

- Schedule 5, over the counter
- Meat WHP 28 days, ESI 42 days, milk nil
Controls
Adult and immature gastrointestinal roundworms, adult thin-necked intestinal worm, intestinal threadworm, large roundworm and whipworm; lungworm; adult eyeworm; sucking lice; Sarcoptes scabiei var bovis and aids control of Chorioptes bovis; cattle tick; and adult liver fluke. It does not fully control the cattle biting louse (Bovicola bovis).
Safety
Macrocyclic lactone actives (ivermectin, abamectin, moxidectin, eprinomectin) are toxic to dogs, and severely so in herding breeds such as Collies, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds and Kelpies. Keep dogs away from treated animals until the product has dried, store the container out of reach, and dispose of empty packs and used syringes where a dog cannot get at them. Withholding periods and export slaughter intervals apply — read the label before treating any animal destined for sale, and rotate chemical groups between seasons rather than relying on one active, because resistance is the main reason a treatment stops working.
