Dectomax Inj

Product Details

The four vial sizes support different professional livestock environments. The correct pack should be selected to reduce wastage, contamination risk and storage beyond the permitted in-use period.

Each species has a different parasite claim and food-safety requirement. A pig indication must not be assumed to apply to cattle, sheep or goats.

The original vial and carton preserve the concentration, registration, batch, expiry, storage, withdrawal and emergency information. Do not transfer the injectable solution to another container.

Resistance can develop when macrocyclic lactones are used repeatedly without monitoring. Professional parasite-management planning should include diagnostic information and treatment history.

Active Ingredient

Doramectin is a macrocyclic-lactone veterinary antiparasitic. It acts against specified susceptible internal and external parasites within the registered animal-specific indications.

The 1% concentration applies specifically to this Dectomax injectable formulation and must not be used to calculate an equivalent amount of another product.

Do not combine Dectomax with another macrocyclic lactone or antiparasitic without veterinary review of resistance, safety, active ingredients and withdrawal requirements.

A suspected failure should be investigated rather than automatically repeated. Incorrect diagnosis, resistance, reinfection, inaccurate weight or handling problems may all contribute.
