    * The labeled dose for fenbendazole products is 5mg/kg. Using twice the labeled dose is recommended in goats for routine worming. Using three times the labeled dose is
    recommended for treating tapworm infections. Exceeding the labeled dose will result in extended drug residues.
    ** The labeled dose for moxidectin is 0.2 mg/kg. The manufacturer recommends using 1.5 x the labeled dose of the sheep drench for goats. See residue warnings
    associated with fenbendazole. Moxidectin was not included in the original table in the above reference.
    +
    The recommended doses of various drugs to treat tapeworm infections are often 2-3x the labeled dose, resulting in extended withdrawal periods
