The summary of product characteristics (SPC) for Zanil Fluke Drench 34 mg/ml Oral Suspension has been updated to reflect a change in its withdrawal period. With immediate effect, the new withdrawal periods are as follows:

Cattle Meat and offal 13 days
Milk 108 hours, or 4.5 days

Sheep Meat and offal 14 days
Milk 7 days

It is important that farmers and their suppliers are aware of the updated guidelines for Zanil Fluke Drench. Existing packaging will still be in circulation, so everyone needs to ensure they use this product correctly based on this update.

Note from HPRA:

Veterinary practitioners, pharmacists, licensed merchants and farmers should follow the amended withdrawal periods, in particular the increase in the milk withdrawal period to 108 hours (4.5 days), and apply them immediately (even where the product labelling indicates otherwise).

While this is NOT a consumer safety issue (but rather a harmonisation of withdrawal periods), the HPRA considers that users of veterinary medicinal products should follow the conditions of the marketing authorisation as set out for the products concerned on the HPRA website (www.hpra.ie ), pending the availability of new stock with updated labelling reflecting the revised withdrawal periods for the products concerned.

Further Information:
