Virbac First Drench for Lambs - Levamisole & Praziquantel
Virbac First Drench for Lambs is a broad spectrum oral anthelmintic designed for the treatment and control of levamisole-susceptible roundworms, lungworms, and tapeworms in lambs. It is particularly valuable for concurrent control of roundworms and tapeworms, including benzimidazole-resistant strains.
Formulated with levamisole and praziquantel, First Drench for Lambs provides effective short-acting worm control while offering flexibility through a short meat withholding period and export slaughter interval. It is suitable for use in lambs from one month of age and supports optimal growth during vulnerable early life stages.
