Dosage and Administration:

Cattle: Administer 200 mcg of ivermectin per kg of body weight (1 mL per 110 lb) by subcutaneous (SQ) injection only. Inject under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder. Do not exceed 10 mL per injection site.

Swine: Administer 300 mcg of ivermectin per kg of body weight (1 mL per 75 lb) by subcutaneous injection in the neck.

Special Minor Use — Reindeer and American Bison: Administer 200 mcg of ivermectin per kg of body weight by subcutaneous (SQ) injection, following the applicable cattle administration directions.

Administration Precautions:

• Subcutaneous (SC) Use Only: Do not administer intravenously or intramuscularly. In cattle, subcutaneous (SQ) administration helps reduce the risk of potentially fatal clostridial infection at the injection site.
• Sterile Equipment: Use sterile equipment and clean and disinfect the injection site before administration. Disinfect the vial stopper before withdrawing the product.
• Needle Recommendation for Cattle: A 16-gauge, 1/2- to 3/4-inch needle is suggested.
• Automatic Syringe Equipment: Use automatic syringe equipment with the applicable larger package sizes as directed by the product label.
• Avoid Underdosing: Calculate the dose using each animal's current body weight. Underdosing may result in ineffective treatment and contribute to parasite resistance.
• Swine Reactions: Mild, temporary pain may occur after subcutaneous administration.

Recommended Swine Treatment Program:

• Breeding Herd: Treat all breeding animals when initiating a parasite control program.
• Sows: Treat preferably 7–14 days before farrowing to help minimize piglet infection.
• Gilts: Treat 7–14 days before breeding and again 7–14 days before farrowing, as directed by the label.
• Boars: Treatment frequency depends on exposure; treat at least twice yearly.
• Weaners and Feeder Pigs: Treat before moving pigs into clean quarters. Retreatment may be necessary if pigs are exposed to contaminated soil or pasture and reinfection occurs.
