Mr. Conor Geraghty:

We have not seen the list. There are only a few instances where this may be unsuitable. For example, there might be a farmer who wants to use pour-on ivermectin for lungworm in coughing cows, such as in a case a few weeks ago where the farmer wanted to use a particular product because he had rheumatoid arthritis and he found the neck of this bottle was easier to manage and he could use it with his left hand and not have to use his sore hand. Therefore, he wanted that one. He would be able to communicate that to a dispenser and ensure he got it. I have not seen anything from the Department but it is my understanding from discussions at the antiparasitic working group that it would compile a database of products that were equal and licensed. There would be an anomaly with dairy cows as some stuff is licensed and some is not.
