Antiparasitic
1% injectable solution for cattle and swine
10 mg/mL
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Dectomax Pour-On Solution injectable solution is a ready-to-use, colorless to pale yellow, sterile solution containing 1% w/v Dectomax Pour-On Solution (10 mg/mL). In cattle, Dectomax Pour-On Solution 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. In swine, Dectomax Pour-On Solution is formulated to deliver the recommended dosage (300 mcg/kg of body weight) when given by IM injection at the rate of 1 mL/75 lb of body weight.
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS: Dectomax Pour-On Solution injectable solution is a highly active, broad-spectrum parasiticide for parenteral administration to cattle and swine. It contains Dectomax Pour-On Solution, a novel fermentation-derived macrocyclic lactone. Dectomax Pour-On Solution is isolated from fermentations of selected strains derived from the soil organism Streptomyces avermitilis.
A primary mode of action of macrocyclic lactones is to modulate chloride ion channel activity in the nervous system of nematodes and arthropods. Macrocyclic lactones bind to receptors that increase membrane permeability to chloride ions. This inhibits the electrical activity of nerve cells in nematodes and muscle cells in arthropods and causes paralysis and death of the parasites. In mammals, the neuronal receptors to which macrocyclic lactones bind are localized within the central nervous system (CNS), a site reached by only negligible concentrations of Dectomax Pour-On Solution.
One dose of Dectomax Pour-On Solution injectable solution effectively treats and controls a wide range of roundworm and arthropod parasites that impair the health and productivity of cattle and swine.
Studies have demonstrated the safety margin of Dectomax Pour-On Solution injection in cattle and swine. In USA trials, no toxic signs were seen in cattle given up to 25 times the recommended dose, or in swine given up to 10 times the recommended dose. Studies also demonstrated safety in neonatal calves and piglets treated with up to 3 times the recommended dose. In males (bulls and boars) and females (cows and sows during folliculogenesis, implantation, organogenesis, and through gestation), a dose 3 times the recommended dose had no effect on breeding performance.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR SWINE: To effectively initiate control of mange and sucking lice in swine, it is important to treat all animals in the herd. After initial treatment, use Dectomax Pour-On Solution regularly as follows:
Breeding Animals:
Sows: Treat 7–14 days prior to farrowing to minimize exposure of piglets to mites and sucking lice.
Gilts: Treat 7–14 days prior to breeding. Treat 7–14 days prior to farrowing.
Boars: Treat a minimum of 2 times per year.
Feeder Pigs: Treat any new feeder pigs upon arrival at farm or before placement in clean quarters.
Weaners, Growers, Finishers: Weaners and grow-out/finisher pigs should be treated before placement in clean quarters.
For effective mange elimination, care must be taken to prevent reinfestation from exposure to untreated animals or contaminated facilities.
ADMINISTRATION: Dry, sterile equipment and aseptic procedures should be used when withdrawing and administering Dectomax Pour-On Solution. For multiple treatments either automatic injection equipment or an aspirating needle should be used.
| Cattle: Administer Dectomax Pour-On Solution injectable solution by SC or IM route. Injections should be made using a 16 gauge needle for adult cattle or an 18 gauge needle for young animals. Needles 1/2–3/4" in length are suggested for SC administration. A 1-1/2" needle is suggested for IM administration. SC injections should be administered under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder. IM injections should be administered into the muscular region of the neck. Beef Quality Assurance guidelines recommend SC administration as the preferred route. |
| Swine: Administer Dectomax Pour-On Solution injectable solution by the IM route. Inject in the neck region using an 18 gauge × 1" needle for young animals; a 16 gauge × 1-1/2" needle for sows and boars. To accurately meter doses administered to piglets, use of a tuberculin syringe and 20 gauge × 1" needle is recommended. |

PRECAUTIONS: Dectomax Pour-On Solution has been developed specifically for use in cattle and swine only. This product should not be used in other animal species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result.
For SC injection in cattle only. For IM injection in swine and cattle. This product is approved for the treatment and control of sucking lice. For treatment of biting lice in cattle, use of Dectomax Pour-On Solution Pour-On is recommended.
Dectomax Pour-On Solution is highly effective against all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble) season.
Destruction of Hypoderma larvae (cattle grubs) at the period when these grubs are in vital areas may cause undesirable host-parasite reactions including the possibility of fatalities. Killing H. lineatum when it is in the tissue surrounding the gullet may cause bloat; killing H. bovis when it is in the vertebral canal may cause staggering or paralysis. These reactions are not specific to treatment with Dectomax Pour-On Solution, but can occur with any successful treatment of grubs. Cattle should be treated either before or after these stages of grub development. Consult your veterinarian concerning the proper time for treatment.
Cattle treated with Dectomax Pour-On Solution after the end of the heel fly season may be re-treated with Dectomax Pour-On Solution during the winter for internal parasites, mange mites, or sucking lice, without danger of grub-related reactions. A planned parasite control program is recommended.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY: Studies indicate that when Dectomax Pour-On Solution comes in contact with the soil, it readily and tightly binds to the soil and becomes inactive over time. Free Dectomax Pour-On Solution may adversely affect fish and certain aquatic organisms. Do not permit water runoff from feedlots to enter streams or ponds. Do not contaminate water by direct application or by the improper disposal of drug containers. Dispose of containers in an approved landfill or by incineration.
As with other avermectins, Dectomax Pour-On Solution is excreted in the dung of treated animals and can inhibit the reproduction and growth of pest and beneficial insects that use dung as a source of food and for reproduction. The magnitude and duration of such effects are species and life-cycle specific.
When used according to label directions, the product is not expected to have an adverse impact on populations of dung-dependent insects.
Store Below 30°C (86°F)
