Contraindications. This product is contraindicated for use by intra-muscular injection. This may cause a serious reaction. To ensure that this does not occur, administer the product only by subcutaneous injection high on the neck behind the ear. About a week after injection, a lesion may have formed at the injection site. Such lesions usually diminish over time, but may last up to 3 months or longer. To avoid potential toxicity, this product is contraindicated for use in flocks or herds being treated with additional selenium sources (selenised vaccine, pellets, fertiliser, oral drench or other injectable products) or grazing pasture known to be high in selenium or where selenium accumulating plants are known to occur. Precautions Only use in flocks or herds which are selenium deficient. Determine selenium status of the flock or herd prior to treatment. If in doubt as to the selenium status of the animals, consult your veterinarian or State Agricultural Authority. DO NOT exceed stated dose or frequency as there is no specific antidote. Take care when handling weak or pregnant animals to avoid unnecessary stress. During the early part of pregnancy, accurate dosing is important and particular care should be taken to avoid overdosing.

To achieve correct injection, it is recommended that cattle are packed tightly into a race with access gained from the side.
