Checked against APVMA label 51170/120552 on 9 October 2026.
What else the label says
- Avoid use in animals 2-3 months prior to sale or show as there may be local pigment changes in wool.
- The label also warns against using it within 2-3 months of slaughter, as the carcass may need trimming. This is a caution, not a withholding period.
To read the label yourself, search the APVMA's PubCRIS register for product number 51170. In MusterMate's medicine list it's also listed as “Coopers Ovilis Footvax”.
