Zoetis Dectomax for Cattle & Swine
DECTOMAX Injectable Solution is a ready-to-use, colorless to pale yellow, sterile solution containing 1% w/v doramectin (10 mg/mL). In cattle, DECTOMAX is formulated to deliver the recommended dosage (200 mcg/kg of body weight) when given by subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) injection at the rate of 1 mL/110 lb of body weight. 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 the 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. 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. Beef Quality Assurance guidelines recommend subcutaneous administration as the preferred route.
Dectomax Injectable is the high performance sports car of drenches. 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 to 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 minimise pain and tissue reaction and is easy to use. Dectomax Injectable gets to where it’s needed most – for longer.
Beef 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.
