Ivermectin plus o.k. during pregnancy?

I'm pretty sure it is fine but is Ivermectin Plus o.k. during pregnancy? I have one doe that I think may have lungworms and would like to give her a dose of this. Thanks!

Everything I've read indicates that it is safe for pregnant does.

you don't need the plus for lungworms. just ivermectin is fine. the plus in ivermectin is clorsulon, a flukacide for the treatment of liver flukes. it can be give to pregnant does but not in the first trimester as this would cause abortion.
