Directions for Use
Shake well before use.
Use only as directed. Treat animals at regular intervals, according to tick challenge.
Cattle: Apply the calculated dose along the spinal column from the poll of the head to the tail root in a single midline. Use a suitable pour-on applicator for accurate dosing.
Sheep & Goats (Karoo paralysis tick): Apply approximately a quarter of the dose in each of the four axillae (armpits) and groin areas.
Sheep & Goats (red lice): Apply the full dose as a stripe down the midline of the back.
For tsetse flies, treat every 14 days according to fly challenge.
Regular application progressively reduces the tick population. Once tick pressure decreases, treatment intervals may be extended beyond 7 days depending on field conditions.
Special Management Guidelines
Calves under 6 months of age must be treated strictly according to body mass — do not exceed the recommended dose rate.
Do not mix Alphacyp A Pour+ with any other product.
Individual animals may show signs of salivation after treatment. This is transient and will pass with no ill effect.
Signs of salivation and lethargy may occur with overdosage. These signs are transient and will pass with no ill effect.
Avoid treating animals during the heat of the day to reduce risk of irritation.
Tick-Borne Disease Immunity
Important Advisory: Correct, regular treatment may reduce natural exposure to ticks and may affect tick-borne disease immunity, especially in young animals. Seek veterinary advice where tick-borne diseases are prevalent. Where possible, vaccinate animals against tick-borne diseases.
Precautions
First Aid
In case of accidental poisoning or ingestion, consult a medical practitioner immediately and make this label available. No specific antidote — treat symptomatically. If skin contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
