Ivermectin10

Presentation:
A clear colourless slightly viscous sterile non-aqueous injectable solution

Composition:

Cattle & Camels:
For the treatment and control of gastro-intestinal nematodes, lungworms, eyeworms, warbles, mites and lice (as shown below) of beef, non-lactating dairy cattle and camels.

Ivermectin 10 at the recommended dosage level of 200mcg ivermectin per kg bodyweight.:-
1. Provides effective control against the following parasites for cattle & camels:-

Gastro-intestinal worms: (adult and fourth stage larvae):
	Ostertagia ostertagi (including inhibited larval stages), Ostertagia lyrata, Haemonchus placei, Trichostrongylus axei, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Cooperia oncophora, Cooperia punctata, Cooperia pectinata, Bunostomum phlebotomum, Oesophagostomum radiatum, Strongyloides papillosus (adult). Nematodirus helvetianus (adult) Nematodirus spathiger (adult) and Trichuris spp (adult).
Lungworms: (adult and fourth stage larvae):
	Dictyocaulus viviparus
Eyeworms: (adult):
	Thelazia spp.
Warbles: (parasitic stages):
	Hypoderma bovis and H. lineatum
Mites:
	Psoroptes bovis, Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis.
Sucking lice:
	Linognathus vituli, Haematopinus eurysternus and Solenopotes capillatus.

2. May also be used as an aid in the control of the mange mite Chorioptes bovis and biting lice (Damalinia bovis), but complete elimination may not occur.
When cattle have to graze on pasture contaminated with infective larvae of cattle nematodes, treatment with Ivermectin 10 at the recommended dose rate controls re-infection with Cooperia spp., for at least 7 days after treatment, Haemonchus placei acquired up to 14 days after treatment, Ostertagia ostertagi and Oesophagostomum radiatum acquired up to 21 days and Dictyocaulus viviparus acquired up to 28 days after treatment.

To obtain optimal benefit from the persistent activity of Ivermectin 10 Injection for grazing animals, it is recommended that calves which are set-stocked in their first grazing season should be treated, 3, 8 and 13 weeks after the day of turn-out.
Studies have demonstrated that first season grazing calves turned out to pasture in late April and May and treated with ivermectin, 3, 8, and 13 weeks after turn-out can be protected from parasitic gastro-enteritis and lungworm disease throughout the grazing season, provided they are set-stocked, all the calves are included in the programme, and that no untreated cattle are added to the pasture.
Treated calves should always be monitored according to good husbandry practices.

Pigs:
For the treatment and control of gastro-intestinal nematodes, lungworms, lice and mange mites in pigs.
Ivermectin 10 Injection at the recommended dose of 300mcg ivermectin per kg bodyweight provides effective control against the following parasites of pigs:-

Gastro-intestinal worms: (adult and fourth-stage larvae):
	Ascaris suum, Hyostrongylus rubidus, Oesophagostomum spp. and adult and somatic larval stages of Stronygloides ransomi.
Lungworms:
	Metastrongylus spp (adult).
Lice:
	Haematopinus suis.
Mites:
	Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis.

Sheep:
For the treatment and control of psoroptic mange (sheep scab), gastro-intestinal nematodes, lungworms and nasal bots of sheep.
Ivermectin 10 at the recommended dose of 200mcg ivermectin per kg bodyweight provides effective control against the following parasites:-

Gastro-intestinal worms: (adult and fourth stage larvae):
	Ostertagia circumcinta, O. trifurcata, Haemonchus contortus, Trichostrongylus axei (adults), T. Colubriformis and T. vitrinus (adults), Cooperia curticei, Oesophagostomum columbianum, O. venulosum, Nematodirus filicollis, Chabertia ovina, Trichuris ovis (adults). Inhibited larval stages and benzimidazole resistant strains of Haemonchus contortus and Ostertagia circumcincta are also controlled.
Lungworm:
	Dictyocaulus filaria (adults and fourth stage larvae), Protostrongylus rufescens (adults).
Mange mites:
	Psoroptes ovis
Nasal bot:
	Oestrus ovis (all larval stages)

For effective control of Psoroptes ovis (sheep scab) two injections with a seven day interval are required to treat clinical signs of scab and to eliminate living mites.
Following treatment of infected sheep great care must be taken to avoid re-infestation as mites may be viable for up to 15 days off the sheep. Contact with treated and non-treated flocks must be avoided until at least 7 days after the last treatment.
