I used it a few years ago, it comes in one of those heating packs. It's a thick liquid that needs to be heated to make it easier to inject. Maybe I didn't have it warm enough but I found it slow enough to inject and the cattle weren't too impressed.
I've used the closamectin pour on which is a lot easier to use and I reckon it's effective. The pour is a lot more expensive than the injection tho if I remember right.

I got it on offer last year from magenta , as above said it's in a heat pack , thick stuff but I had it on dash of van for few min with the heater on and it worked well , I used it after housing and had no problems after it

what stages of fluke does it kill? How many weeks would they want to be in before you'd do them?
