Cydectin Pour-On for Beef and Dairy Cattle, 1 L

A ready-to-use 1 L moxidectin pour-on labeled for beef and dairy cattle. Apply by body weight and follow the cattle-only label directions.

Topical parasite treatment for cattle

Cydectin Pour-On is a ready-to-use topical solution for beef and dairy cattle, packaged in a one-liter bottle. It contains moxidectin at 5 mg per mL, or 0.5%. The label dose is 1 mL for each 22 lb of body weight, applied along the backline from the withers to the tail head. Calculate each animal's dose from a current weight and use the provided measuring equipment. This product is applied to the skin, not given by mouth or injection. The label covers treatment and control of listed internal and external parasites. Its pour-on format can fit a handling routine where cattle are restrained and treated one at a time. Do not confuse it with Cydectin's oral sheep drench or injectable product; they have different concentrations, species, routes, and instructions. The current label lists gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, grubs, lice, mites, and other external parasites in cattle. It also describes persistent activity against horn flies. This list is a guide to product selection, not a substitute for diagnosing a problem or choosing a treatment plan. Work with a veterinarian when identifying parasites, setting a herd program, or responding to poor results. Moxidectin belongs to the milbemycin class. Parasite resistance can develop, so repeated treatment should be based on herd history and monitoring instead of a fixed guess. The label says to apply slowly to dairy cows, on healthy skin, avoiding mange scabs, skin lesions, mud, or manure. Do not apply to calves intended for veal. The product is labeled for beef and dairy cattle, including lactating dairy cattle, but its cattle directions do not authorize use in sheep, goats, horses, or pets. The product label states zero slaughter withdrawal and zero milk discard when used as directed, but it excludes veal calves. Follow the full label, including precautions about application and environmental exposure. The solution should not be allowed to enter water; moxidectin residues can affect aquatic organisms. Keep the bottle closed and store it in its original package according to label instructions. Avoid contact with eyes and skin, wash after handling, and keep it away from children. In California it is a restricted drug and may be used only as directed. Before treatment, check animal identity, weight, condition, route, and any state restrictions. One liter covers a number of animals, with the amount used depending on their weights and the labeled dose. The 1 L bottle is a retail container, while distributor case quantities refer to multiple bottles. Keep the original label accessible for the person applying the product and for later herd records.

Cautions

Warning: Not For Use In Humans. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. This product can cause irritation to skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. In case of accidental skin contact and/or clothing contamination, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water and launder clothing with detergent. In case of accidental eye contact, flush eyes with copious amounts of water. When direct inhalation occurs, cleanse lungs and respiratory passages with fresh air. In case of ingestion do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. If irritation or any other symptom attributable to exposure to this product persists, consult your physician. For product questions, to report adverse reactions, or for a copy of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), call Elanco Product & Veterinary Support at 1-800-428-4441. Residue Warning: When used according to label directions, neither a pre-slaughter drug withdrawal period nor a milk discard time are required. Meat and milk from cattle treated with CYDECTIN (moxidectin) Pour-On may be used for human consumption at any time following treatment. A withdrawal period has not been established for this product in preruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. OTHER WARNINGS • Parasite resistance may develop to any dewormer, and has been reported for most classes of dewormers. • Treatment with a dewormer used in conjunction with parasite management practices appropriate to the geographic area and the animal(s) to be treated may slow the development of parasite resistance. • Fecal examinations or other diagnostic tests and parasite management history should be used to determine if the product is appropriate for the herd/flock, prior to the use of any dewormer. Following the use of any dewormer, effectiveness of treatment should be monitored (for example, with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test or another appropriate method). • A decrease in a drug's effectiveness over time as calculated by fecal egg count reduction tests may indicate the development of resistance to the dewormer administered. Your parasite management plan should be adjusted accordingly based on regular monitoring. Precautions: For external use only. Do not apply to areas of skin with mange scabs, skin lesions, mud or manure. CYDECTIN Pour-On is not recommended for use in species other than cattle. This product has been formulated specifically for topical use in cattle and should not be used in other animal species or by other routes of administration as adverse reactions may occur. CYDECTIN Pour-On is effective against the migrating stage of cattle grubs ( Hypoderma larvae). Treatment with CYDECTIN Pour-On during the period when grubs are migrating through vital areas may cause undesirable host-parasite reactions. Killing H. lineatum when they are located in periesophageal tissues may cause bloat. Killing H. bovis when they are in the vertebral canal may cause staggering or hindlimb paralysis. Cattle should be treated as soon as possible after heel fly (warble fly) season to avoid this potential problem. Cattle treated with CYDECTIN Pour-On at the end of fly season can be re-treated during the winter without danger of grub-related reactions. Consult your veterinarian for more information regarding these secondary grub reactions and the correct time to treat with CYDECTIN Pour‑On. Environmental Safety: Studies indicate that when moxidectin comes in contact with the soil it readily and tightly binds to the soil and becomes inactive. Free moxidectin may adversely affect fish and certain aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate water by direct application or by improper disposal of drug containers. Storage: Store product at or below room temperature. Avoid prolonged exposure above 25°C (77°F). If product becomes frozen, thaw completely and shake well prior to use. Disposal: Dispose of containers in an approved landfill or by incineration.
