AGRI-MECTIN® INJECTION (ivermectin)

Product Information

AGRI-MECTIN (ivermectin) is a 1% injectable parasiticide for cattle and swine. One low-volume dose effectively treats and controls the following internal and external parasites that may impair the health of cattle and swine: gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited Ostertagia ostertagi in cattle), lungworms, grubs, sucking lice, and mange mites of cattle; and gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, lice, and mange mites of swine.

Ivermectin is derived from the avermectins, a family of potent, broad - spectrum antiparasitic agents isolated from fermentation of Streptomyces avermitilis.

AGRI-MECTIN Injection is clear, ready-to-use, sterile solution containing 1% ivermectin, 40% glycerol formal, and propylene glycol, q.s. ad 100%.

Benefits

AGRI-MECTIN Injection has been proven to effectively control infections and to protect cattle from reinfection with Dictyocaulus viviparus and Oesophagostomum radiatum for 28 days after treatment; Ostertagia ostertagi, Trichostrongylus axei and Cooperia punctata for 21 days after treatment; Haemonchus placei and Cooperia oncophora for 14 days after treatment.

AGRI-MECTIN Injection has a persistent drug level sufficient to control mite infestations throughout the egg to adult life cycle. However, since ivermectin effect is not immediate, care must be taken to prevent reinfestation from exposure to untreated animals or contaminated facilities.
