Merial Limited is recalling 489 units of IVOMEC (ivermectin) Sheep Drench because the product labels incorrectly state an expiration period of 60 months, when the actual verified shelf life is only 36 months. This recall affects both the 1-liter single bottles and cases containing 4.1-liter quantities of the veterinary medication. Because the product may be used past its true expiration date, its effectiveness in treating parasites in sheep cannot be guaranteed after the 36-month mark.
Using the product after its true 36-month expiration date may result in reduced potency, meaning the medication may not effectively treat or prevent parasitic infections in sheep as intended.
