Z-ITCH
Sweet itch is an allergic skin disease. Certain horses are allergic to the saliva in the bite of a species of midge called cullicoides. Once a horse is bitten it will have an allergic reaction at the site of the bite.
Active Ingredient:
Permethrin 40mg/ml (cis:trans 80:20)
Dosage & Administration:
Z-itch is a ready-to-use, pour-on solution which should be administered at the rate of 4mg/kg
body weight, equivalent to 1.0ml per 10kg bodyweight to a maximum
of 40ml.
Application:
Apply the measured dose in approximately equal proportions to the mane and rump avoiding the
saddle
area. Treatment should be started at the beginning of the sweet itch
season and repeated as necessary - treatment once weekly should be
sufficient for most horses. If horses and donkeys are to be groomed,
apply the product after grooming. Do not treat the saddle area. The
product must not be applied forward of the ears. Take care to avoid eye
contact. In case of accidental splashing into the horse's eye, the
affected eye should be washed thoroughly and immediately
with copious quantities of clean water and veterinary attention
sought.
