Bimectin 250ml Ivermectin Injectable 1%
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Bimectin® Injection is a ready-to-use sterile solution containing 10 mg per mL of ivermectin or 1% sterile solution. Bimectin® Injection is formulated to deliver the recommended dose level of 200 µg ivermectin per kg of body weight in cattle when given subcutaneously at the rate of 1 mL per 50 kg. In swine, Bimectin® Injection is formulated to deliver the recommended dose level of 300 µg ivermectin per kg body weight when given subcutaneously at the rate of 1 mL per 33 kg. NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
Active Ingredient
Ivermectin is the first in a series of antiparasitic agents derived from the avermectin family of compounds. The avermectins are highly active, broad-spectrum antiparasitic agents isolated from fermentation of the soil organism Streptomyces avermitilis.
Bimectin Injection Indications
Cattle
Bimectin® Injection is indicated for the treatment of infections and infestations due to gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, grubs, sucking lice and mange mites in cattle:
Gastrointestinal roundworms: *Ostertagia ostertagi (adults and fourth stage larvae including inhibited O. ostertagi); O. lyrata (adults); Haemonchus placei (adults and fourth stage larvae); Trichostrongylus axei (adults and fourth stage larvae); T. colubriformis (adults); Cooperia oncophora (adults and fourth stage larvae); C. punctata (adults); Oesophagostomum radiatum (adults and fourth stage larvae); Strongyloides papillosus (adults)
Eye worms: Thelazia spp.
Lungworms: *Dictyocaulus viviparus (adults and fourth stage larvae)
Cattle grubs: (internal parasitic stages): Hypoderma bovis; H. lineatum
Sucking lice: Linognathus vituli; Haematopinus eurysternus; Solenopotes capillatus
Mites: Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis; Psoroptes ovis (syn. P. communis var. bovis)
*Bimectin® Injection given at the recommended dosage of 200 µg ivermectin per kg of body weight effectively controls infections with Ostertagia spp. acquired up to at least 7 days after treatment and D. viviparus acquired up to at least 14 days after treatment.
Swine
Bimectin® Injection is indicated for the treatment of the following parasitic infections and infestations in swine:
Gastrointestinal roundworms: Large roundworms, Ascaris suum (adults and L4); Red stomach worm, Hyostrongylus rubidus (adults and L4); Nodular Worm, Oesophagostomum spp. (adults and L4); Threadworm, Strongyloides ransomi (adults and somatic larvae)
Somatic Threadworm Larvae (Strongyloides ransomi): Sows must be treated at least seven days before farrowing to prevent infection of piglets.
Lungworm: Metastrongylus spp. (adults)
Lice: Haematopinus suis
Mites: Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis
Dosage and Administration
Cattle
Bimectin® Injection should be given only by subcutaneous injection at the recommended dosage level of 200 µg of ivermectin per kg of body weight. Each mL contains 10 mg of ivermectin, sufficient to treat 50 kg of body weight (maximum 10 mL per injection site).
Bimectin® Injection should be given subcutaneously only. Inject in the loose skin in front or behind the shoulder. Use of a 16 gauge, 15 to 20 mm (3/4 inch) needle is suggested. Use sterile equipment.
Swine
The recommended dose level is 1 mL of Bimectin® Injection per 33 kg of body weight (each mL contains 10 mg of ivermectin). The recommended route of administration is by subcutaneous injection in the neck. The solution may be given with any standard automatic single dose equipment. In young pigs, especially those below 16 kg for which less than 0.5 mL of Bimectin® Injection is indicated, dosing accuracy is important. The use of a syringe that can accurately deliver as little as 0.1 mL is recommended. Use aseptic technique.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR SWINE:
I. Breeding Animals
At the time of initiating any parasite control program it is important to treat all breeding animals in the herd. After the initial treatment, use Bimectin® regularly as follows:
Sows - Treat prior to farrowing, preferably 7-14 days before, to minimize infection of piglets.
Gilts - Treat 7-14 days prior to breeding. Treat 7-14 days prior to farrowing.
Boars - Frequency and need for treatments are dependent upon parasite exposure. Treat at least two times per year.
