Doramate Injectable Endectocide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not use in cattle during lactation or less than 60 days before calving when milk or milk products are intended for human consumption or processing.
• Do not use in animals within 28 days (4 weeks) of a previous treatment.

Cattle Tick Control:

• The persistence of doramectin prevents the development of viable cattle ticks for 28 days following treatment. However, engorged female ticks that drop off for up to 3 days after treatment may lay viable eggs. Factor this into strategic tick control planning.
• If presenting cattle for clearance to tick-free areas, consult your local tick advisory authority before use.

General Instructions:

• Use dry, sterile syringes and needles. Sterilise all injection apparatus by boiling (or equivalent) before use. Do not use disposable plastic syringes sterilised by boiling. Dry equipment thoroughly.
• Administer subcutaneously (SC) in cattle or intramuscularly (IM) in pigs into the neck region, preferably high up behind the ear.
• Keep needles sharp, clean, and dry. Replace frequently. For subcutaneous administration, use the shortest needle possible, not exceeding 15 mm.
• Avoid injecting animals during wet weather or under dusty conditions.
• When the injectable solution temperature drops below 5 °C, gently warm the equipment and product to 15 °C to restore normal flow.
• Worm parasites may develop resistance to any anthelmintic. If resistance is suspected, contact your local veterinary practitioner or the manufacturer.

Environmental Protection:

• Doramectin is extremely toxic to aquatic species. Do not contaminate dams, rivers, streams, or other waterways with the chemical or used container.

Storage:

• Store below 30 °C (room temperature). Store upright.

Disposal:

• Dispose of the empty container by wrapping it with paper and placing it in the garbage.
