Description
Neovemox Long-Acting Injection for Sheep delivers 20 g/L moxidectin via subcutaneous injection to treat and control roundworms, nasal bot, and itch mite in sheep. As a second-generation macrocyclic lactone, moxidectin provides protection against severe challenge by Haemonchus contortus (barber’s pole worm) for up to 4 months from a single dose, offering considerably longer residual activity than most short-acting oral drenches. Furthermore, Neove Pharma Australia Pty Ltd supplies this product as a ready-to-use formulation, with no mixing or dilution required before administration.
Because Neovemox is effective against benzimidazole and levamisole-resistant worm strains, it suits operations where first-generation anthelmintic products are losing ground. In addition, a single subcutaneous injection covers both adult and immature (L4) worm stages across all major sheep nematode species, so producers can reduce the total number of mob handling events during high-pressure parasite periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Is Neovemox effective against drench-resistant worms?
A.Yes. Neovemox works against benzimidazole and levamisole-resistant strains of H. contortus, T. colubriformis, and T. (O.) circumcincta. However, do not use it where avermectin resistance is confirmed, unless a veterinary or animal health advisor specifically recommends it.
Q.Can I use Neovemox in goats?
A.No. Neovemox is not recommended for use in goats, as the label does not cover that species. Safety and efficacy in goats have not been established.
Q.Can I use Neovemox in milking ewes?
A.No. Do not use Neovemox in ewes that are producing milk for human consumption, or in ewes that may produce milk for human consumption in the future. Refer to the Withholding Period section for full details.
Q.How is Neovemox administered?
A.Administer Neovemox as a subcutaneous injection at the base of the ear or high on the neck behind the ear. Weigh all sheep before dosing and treat according to the dosage table at 1 mL per 20 kg liveweight. Use a calibrated injector gun and check dose equipment before treatment commences.
Q.How soon can I retreat with Neovemox?
A.Do not retreat for at least 91 days after the previous administration. The 91-day protection period against barber’s pole worm and small brown stomach worm means most animals do not require retreatment within that window under normal worm pressure.

This injection has given us really good results in our alpacas. Fomacha score is high within a few days of injecting. Great protection time against Barbers Pole. Better than monthly cydectin injections and cheaper than cydectin long lasting.
