  • DESCRIPTION

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
    MoxiSolv Injection (moxidectin) is a ready-to-use, sterile solution containing 1% moxidectin. Moxidectin is an endectocide in the milbemycin chemical class which shares the distinctive mode of action characteristic of macrocyclic lactones. MoxiSolv Injection is specially formulated to allow moxidectin to be absorbed from the site of injection and distributed internally to the areas of the body affected by endo- and/or ectoparasitism. Moxidectin binds selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion
    channels which are critical to the function of invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This interferes with neurotransmission resulting in paralysis and elimination of the parasite

  • INDICATIONS & USAGE

    INDICATIONS
    MoxiSolv Injection, when administered at the recommended dose level of 0.2 mg/2.2 lb (0.2 mg/kg) body weight, is effective in the treatment and control of the following internal and external parasites of cattle:

    Cattle Grubs
    Hypoderma bovis
    Hypoderma lineatum

    Mites
    Psoroptes ovis
    (Psoroptes communis var. bovis)

    Lice
    Linognathus vituli
    Solenopotes capillatus

    Persistent Activity
    Moxidectin injectable has been proven to effectively protect cattle from reinfection with Dictyocaulus viviparus and Oesophagostomum radiatum for 42 days after treatment, Haemonchus placei for 35 days after treatment, and Ostertagia ostertagi and Trichostrongylus axei for 14 days after treatment.

    Management Considerations for External Parasites
    For most effective external parasite control, MoxiSolv Injection (moxidectin) should be administered to all cattle in the herd. Cattle entering the herd following this administration should be treated prior to introduction. Consult your veterinarian or a livestock entomologist for the most appropriate time to administer MoxiSolv Injection in your location to effectively control external parasites.

  • DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION

    DOSAGE
    The recommended rate of administration for MoxiSolv Injection is 1 mL for each 110 lb (50 kg) body weight to provide 0.2 mg moxidectin/2.2 lb (0.2 mg/kg) body weight. The table below will assist in the calculation of the appropriate volume of injectable which must be administered based on the weight of animal being treated. Be careful not to overdose animals; estimate animal's body weight as closely as possible or weigh animals individually.

     Weight (lb)165 220 330 440 550660  770 880 990 1100
     Weight (kg) 75 100 150 200 250 300350 400 450 500
    Dose (mL) 1.5 2,0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0

    Do not underdose. Ensure each animal receives a complete dose based on a current body weight. Underdosing may result in ineffective treatment, and encourage the development of parasite resistance.

    ADMINISTRATION
    MoxiSolv Injection should be administered by subcutaneous injection under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder (Figure 1). Needles 1/2 to 3/4 inch in length and 16 to 18 gauge are recommended for subcutaneous injections. Use sterile, dry equipment and aseptic procedures when withdrawing and administering MoxiSolv.

  • WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    HUMAN WARNINGS
    Not For Use in Humans. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children

    CONTACT INFORMATION:
    To report suspected adverse drug events, for technical assistance or to obtain a copy of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), contact Bimeda, Inc. at 1-888-524-6332. For additional information about adverse drug experience reporting for animal drugs, contact FDA at 1-888-FDA-VETS or online at www.fda.gov/reportanimalae

  • RESIDUE WARNING

    RESIDUE WARNINGS
    Cattle must not be slaughtered for human consumption within 21 days of treatment. This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows. A withdrawal period has not been established for preruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.

  • WARNINGS

    ANIMAL SAFETY WARNINGS
    Do not use in sick, debilitated, or underweight animals. In foreign countries there have been reports of adverse effects, including death. This product should not be used in calves less than 8 weeks of age because safety testing has not been done in the U.S. in calves less than 8 weeks of age.

    ENVIRONMENTAL WARNINGS
    Studies indicate that when moxidectin comes in contact with the soil, it readily and tightly binds to the soil and becomes inactive. Free moxidectin may adversely affect fish and certain aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate water by direct application or by improper disposal of drug containers.

    OTHER WARNINGS

    • Parasite resistance may develop to any dewormer, and has been reported for most classes of dewormers.
    • Treatment with a dewormer used in conjunction with parasite management practices appropriate to the geographic area and the animal(s) to be treated may slow the development of parasite resistance.
    • Fecal examinations or other diagnostic tests and parasite management history should be used to determine if the product is appropriate for the herd/flock, prior to the use of any dewormer. Following the use of any dewormer, effectiveness of treatment should be monitored (for example, with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test or another appropriate method).
    • A decrease in a drug's effectiveness over time as calculated by fecal egg count reduction tests may indicate the development of resistance to the dewormer administered. Your parasite management plan should be adjusted accordingly based on regular monitoring.
  • PRECAUTIONS

    PRECAUTIONS
    MoxiSolv Injection (moxidectin) has been formulated specifically for subcutaneous injection in cattle and should not be given by other routes of administration. Subcutaneous injection can cause transient local tissue reaction that may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter if animals are slaughtered within 35 days after treatment. This product should not be used in other animal species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result.
    MoxiSolv Injection is effective against the migrating stage of cattle grubs (Hypoderma larvae). Treatment with MoxiSolv Injection (moxidectin) during the period when grubs are migrating through vital areas may cause undesirable host-parasite reactions. Killing H. lineatum when they are located in peri-esophageal tissues may cause bloat. Killing H. bovis when they are in the vertebral canal may cause staggering or hindlimb paralysis. Cattle should be treated as soon as possible after heel fly (warble fly) season to avoid this potential problem. Cattle treated with MoxiSolv Injection at the end of fly season can be retreated during the winter without danger of grub-related reactions. Consult your veterinarian for more information regarding these secondary grub reactions and the correct time to treat with MoxiSolv Injection.

  • SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

    ANIMAL SAFETY
    U.S. tolerance and toxicity studies have demonstrated that moxidectin injectable has an adequate margin of safety for use in cattle 8 weeks of age and older. No toxic signs were seen in growing cattle given up to 5 times the recommended dose. Calves as young as 8 weeks of age showed no toxic signs when treated with up to 3 times the recommended dose while nursing from cows concurrently treated with the recommended dose level of moxidectin injectable. Mild, transient ataxia was noted in growing cattle receiving 10 times the recommended dose and in bulls treated at 4.5 times the recommended dose. In breeding animals (bulls and cows in estrous and during early, mid and late pregnancy), treatment with at least 3 times the recommended dose had no effect on breeding performance.
    Signs of toxicity include ataxia, excessive salivation, depression, and mydriasis. These signs usually occur within 12 to 48 hours post-treatment.
