Moxidectin is a second generation macrocyclic lactone of the milbemycin family.
For the prevention and treatment of psoroptic mange (scab) in sheep.
For the treatment and control of infections caused by moxidectin sensitive strains of the following endoparasites and ectoparasites:
Gastro-intestinal nematodes:
•Haemonchus contortus
•Teladorsagia circumcincta (including inhibited larvae)
•Trichostrongylus axei (adults)
•Trichostrongylus colubriformis (adults and L3)
•Nematodirus spathiger (adults)
•Cooperia curticei (adults)
•Cooperia punctata (adults)
•Gaigeria pachyscelis (L3)
•Oesophagostomum columbianum (L3)
•Chabertia ovina (adults)
Respiratory tract nematode:
•Dictyocaulus filaria
Larvae of diptera:
•Oestrus ovis (L1, L2, L3)
CYDECTIN has a persistent effect in preventing infection or reinfection for:
•at least 4 weeks against Psoroptes ovis
•5 weeks against Teladorsagia circumcincta and Haemonchus contortus
•4 weeks against Gaigeria pachyscelis and Oesophagostomum columbianum
•2 weeks against Trichostrongylus colubriformis.
Trials have shown that CYDECTIN may be effective against strains of Haemonchus contortus resistant to benzimidazoles, ivermectin and doramectin.
ROUTINE PREVENTION OF SCAB
One injection at the recommended dosage will protect against Psoroptes ovis (scab mite) infestation for at least 28 days.
TREATMENT OF SCAB OUTBREAKS
Two injections at the recommended dosage, 10 days apart.
