In cattle weighing from 100 to 500 kg bodyweight, CYDECTIN 10% LA is indicated for the treatment and prevention of mixed infestations by the following gastro-intestinal nematodes, respiratory nematodes and certain arthropod parasites:
Adult and immature gastro-intestinal nematodes
•Haemonchus placei
•Haemonchus contortus
•Ostertagia ostertagi (including inhibited larvae)
•Trichostrongylus axei
•Trichostrongylus colubriformis
•Nematodirus helvetianus (adults only)
•Nematodirus spathiger
•Cooperia surnabada
•Cooperia oncophora
•Cooperia pectinata
•Cooperia punctata
•Oesophagostomum radiatum
•Bunostomum phlebotomum (adults only)
•Chabertia ovina (adults only)
•Trichuris spp. (adults only)
Adult and immature respiratory tract nematode
•Dictyocaulus viviparus
Warble grubs (migrating larvae)
•Hypoderma bovis
•Hypoderma lineatum
Lice
•Linognathus vituli
•Haematopinus eurysternus
•Solenopotes capillatus
•Bovicola bovis (aid in control)
Mange mites
•Sarcoptes scabiei
•Psoroptes ovis
•Chorioptes bovis (aid in control)
CYDECTIN 10% LA has a persistent action and protects cattle for a certain duration against infection or re-infection with the following parasites for the period indicated:
Species | Protection period (days) |
Dictyocaulus viviparus | 120 |
Ostertagia ostertagi | 120 |
Haemonchus placei | 90 |
Oesophagostomum radiatum | 150 |
Trichostrongylus axei | 90 |
Linognathus vituli | 133 |
The veterinary medicinal product is effective against Hypoderma larvae at the time of treatment but its persistent activity against Hypoderma has not been evaluated.
If the veterinary medicinal product is given before the end of the fly season complimentary treatment with a product effective against Hypoderma may be required.
Persistent efficacy periods have not been established for parasite species other than those included in the above list. Therefore re-infection of animals on pasture contaminated by parasites other than these remains possible before the end of the 90 day minimum persistency period demonstrated for specific species.
