Ivomec Pour-On for Cattle (ivermectin)

Ivomec Pour-On for Cattle

Active Ingredient: Ivermectin @ 5.0 mg/mL

Ivomec Pour-on For Cattle is for the treatment and control of Ivermectin-sensitive gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited Ostertagia ostertagi), lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus), eyeworm (Thelazia spp.), sucking and biting lice, sarcoptic and chorioptic mange mites, buffalo fly (Haematobia irritans exigua) and cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) in cattle, and for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworm of red deer.

Ivomec Pour-on For Cattle is made from Ivermectin @ 5g/L. Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone medication used to treat many types of parasite infestations.  The macrocyclic lactones have a very high efficacy against all stages (including inhibited forms) of the common cattle nematodes.  The least susceptible nematodes are Cooperia and Nematodirus spp.  Because of their high potency and elimination through milk, the macrocyclic lactones are not recommended for use in animals that produce milk for human consumption.  Eprinomectin and moxidectin pour-ons are exceptions and have no milk withdrawal time in many countries.
