The rubber stopper should also be disinfected with alcohol to prevent contamination of the contents. The injection site should be cleaned and disinfected with alcohol before injection. As with any injection, sterile equipment should be used. When using the 250 mL or 500 mL package size, use only automatic syringe equipment. Each mL of Ivermectin Injection contains 10 mg of ivermectin, sufficient to treat 110 lb (50 kg) of body weight (maximum 10 mL per injection site).

Sows must be treated at least seven days before farrowing to prevent infection in piglets.Ĭattle: Ivermectin Injection should be given only by subcutaneous injection under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder at the recommended dose level of 200 mcg of ivermectin per kilogram of body weight. Threadworm, Strongyloides ransomi (somatic larvae) Threadworm, Strongyloides ransomi (adults) Red stomach worm, Hyostrongylus rubidus (adults and fourth-stage larvae) Large roundworm, Ascaris suum (adults and fourth-stage larvae) Swine: Ivermectin Injection is indicated for the effective treatment and control of the following harmful species of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, lice, and mange mites in swine: Ivermectin injection has been proved 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. Lungworms (adults and fourth-stage larvae): Ostertagia ostertagi (including inhibited O. Gastrointestinal Roundworms (adults and fourth-stage larvae): Ivermectin Injection for Cattle and Swine IndicationsĬattle: Ivermectin Injection is indicated for the effective treatment and control of the following harmful species of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, grubs, sucking lice, and mange mites in cattle: The margin of safety for compounds of this class is attributable to the fact that mammals do not have glutamate-gated chloride channels, the macrocyclic lactones have a low affinity for other mammalian ligand-gated chloride channels and they do not readily cross the blood-brain barrier. Compounds of this class may also interact with other ligand-gated chloride channels, such as those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This leads to an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions with hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite. Compounds of the class bind selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. Ivermectin is a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of endectocides which have a unique mode of action. In Swine, Ivermectin Injection is formulated to deliver the recommended dose level of 300 mcg ivermectin/kilogram body weight when given subcutaneously in the neck at the rate of 1 mL per 75 lb (33 kg). Ivermectin Injection is formulated to deliver the recommended dose level of 200 mcg ivermectin/kilogram of body weight in cattle when given subcutaneously at the rate of 1 mL/110 lb (50 kg). Ivermectin Injection is a clear, ready-to-use, sterile solution containing 1% ivermectin, 40% glycerol formal, and propylene glycol, q.s. Ivermectin is derived from the avermectins, a family of potent, broad-spectrum antiparasitic agents isolated from fermentation of Streptomyces avermitilis. Ivermectin’s convenience, broad-spectrum efficacy and safety margin make Ivermectin Injection a unique product for parasite control of 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 (ivermectin) Injection is an injectable parasiticide for cattle and swine. A Parasiticide for the Treatment and Control of Internal and External Parasites of Cattle and Swine.Ĭonsult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism.
