Cydectin 1% Injectable Solution for Sheep
For the prevention and treatment of psoroptic mange (scab) in sheep.
For the treatment and control of infections caused by moxidectin sensitive strains of the following endoparasites and ectoparasites:
Gastro-intestinal nematodes (stomach & gut worms), respiratory tract nematode (lung worm) and Psoroptes ovis (scab mite).
Dosage & Administration
Inject subcutaneously (under the skin) in the neck. Use sterile 18 gauge needles or smaller, of half inch (1.5 cm) length. Ensure that the needle is inserted carefully under the skin using aseptic precautions and that product does not leak from the injection site. Be certain that the needle has penetrated the skin before delivering the dose. To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped according to their bodyweight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under or over dosing.
Prevention of Scab:
It has been demonstrated that a single injection of all sheep in an area (with a double treatment of any clinically affected animals) is an effective alternative to routine autumn dipping to eradicate sheep scab.
Treatment of Scab Outbreaks:
Withdrawal Period
Meat and offal: 70 days from last treatment.
Milk: Not for use in sheep producing milk for human consumption or industrial purposes, including the dry period.

Cydectin 1% w/v Solution for Injection for Sheep has a wide margin of safety and symptoms of overdose do not generally occur at less than 10 times the recommended dose. Not to be used in animals that have any history of previous vaccination against footrot.
