Dectomax Injectable [100 mL]

Dectomax Injectable Solution is a ready-to-use, colorless to pale yellow, sterile solution containing 1% w/v doramectin (10 mg/mL). Dectomax Injectable Solution is indicated for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, eyeworms, grubs (see precautions), sucking lice and mange mites. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism. Dectomax Injectable Solution has been developed specifically for use in cattle and swine only. This product should not be used in other animal species because severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result.

It’s the method of choice for Australia’s leading cattle producers to control internal and external parasites in the herd. Beef cattle can be attacked in two ways. Worms affect their stomach and small and large intestines, while their skin is affected by external parasites such as lice and ticks. Dectomax Injectable gets right where most of the worm damage is caused. By getting right to the source of the problem, you get less product wastage, a consistent dose and a guarantee that worms will have nowhere to hide. Dectomax Injectable has also been formulated to minimize pain and tissue reaction and is easy to use. Dectomax Injectable gets to where it’s needed most – for longer.

Directions:

Cattle: Administer DECTOMAX injectable solution to Cattle at the recommended dosage of 1 mL (10 mg doramectin) per 110 lb body weight by either subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. Injections should be given using 16- to 18-gauge needles, regardless of administration route. Needles 1/2 to 3/4 inches in length are suggested for SC injections, which should be given under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder. A 1 1/2-inch needle is suggested for IM injections. The only area for IM injections is the muscular region of the neck.

Swine: Administer Dectomax injectable solution at the recommended dosage of 300 mcg doramectin per kg (136 mcg/lb) of body weight. Each ml contains 10 mg of doramectin, sufficient to treat 75 lb (34 kg) of body weight. To effectively initiate control of mange and sucking lice in swine, it is important to treat all animals in the herd. Administer Dectomax injectable solution by the intramuscular route. Inject in the neck region using an 18-gauge x 1” needle for young animals; a 16-gauge x 1-1/2” needle for sows and boars.

Warnings:
Dectomax Injectable has a 35-day pre-slaughter withdrawal period. Do not use in dairy cows 20 months of age or older. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. Dectomax has been developed specifically for cattle and swine.
