CATTLE: For treatment and control of the following harmful species of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, eyeworms, warbles, lice and mange mites. Gastrointestinal roundworms (adults and fourth stage larvae): Ostertagia ostertagi (including inhibited larvae) O. lyrata* Haemonchus placei Trichostrongylus axei T. colubriformis Cooperia oncophora C. pectinata* C. punctata C. surnabada (syn. mcmasteri) Nematodirus spathiger* Bunostomum phlebotomum* Strongyloides papillosus* Oesophagostomum radiatum Trichuris spp.* * adults Lungworms: (adults and fourth stage larvae) Dictyocaulus viviparus Eyeworms: (adults) Thelazia spp. Warbles: (parasitic stages) Hypoderma bovis H. lineatum Sucking lice: Haematopinus eurysternus Linognathus vituli Solenopotes capillatus Mange mites: Psoroptes bovis Sarcoptes scabiei May also be used as an aid in the control of Nematodirus helvetianus, biting lice (Damalinia bovis) and the mange mite Chorioptes bovis. The pharmacokinetics of Dectomax Solution for Injection allows protection of cattle against infection or re-infection with the following parasites for the period indicated: Species Days Ostertagia ostertagi 35 Cooperia oncophora 21 Dictyocaulus viviparus 35 Bunostomum phlebotomum 22 Oesophagostomum radiatum 21 Trichostrongylus axei 28 Linognathus vituli 28 Psoroptes bovis 42 Haemonchus placei 28 To obtain optimal benefits from the action of DECTOMAX Solution for Injection, it is recommended that cattle which are set-stocked should be treated at turnout and eight weeks later. Studies have demonstrated that, used in this way, DECTOMAX will reduce the build-up of infective larvae on pasture and can protect animals from parasitic gastro-enteritis and parasitic bronchitis throughout the grazing season. To obtain these results, all animals must be included in the programme and untreated cattle must not be introduced on the pasture. Treated cattle should always be monitored according to good husbandry practices. Treatment with DECTOMAX Solution for Injection at turnout and eight weeks later of cattle set-stocked for the grazing season can protect against clinical disease caused by lungworm and may allow the development of naturally acquired immunity. However, due to the unpredictable nature of lungworm epidemiology, clinical signs of lungworm disease may on occasion be seen, particularly towards the end of the grazing season, if the season is long. If this occurs, cattle should be further treated with an anthelmintic effective against lungworm.

SHEEP: For treatment and control of Psoroptes ovis (sheep scab mite) and for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal roundworms and nasal bots. Mange mites Psoroptes ovis Gastrointestinal roundworms (Adults and fourth stage larvae (L4) unless otherwise indicated): Chabertia ovina (adults only) Cooperia curticei (L4 only) C. oncophora Gaigeria pachycelis Haemonchus contortus Nematodirus battus (L4 only)1 Ostertagia (Teladorsagia) circumcincta * Oesophagostomum columbianum Strongyloides papillosus Trichostrongylus axei Trichostrongylus colubriformis Trichostrongylus vitrinus Trichuris spp (Adults only) * Inhibited larval stages (L4) including strains that are benzimidazole resistant, are also controlled. 1 For effective treatment and control of both adults and L4 larvae of Nematodirus battus a dose rate of 300 mcg/kg is required. Lungworms Dictyocaulus filaria (Adults only) Nasal bots (1st, 2nd and 3rd instar larvae) Oestrus ovis
