  • SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

    INTRODUCTION
    Ivermectin Pour-On™ (ivermectin topical solution) delivers internal and external parasite control in one convenient low-volume application.
    Ivermectin Pour-On contains ivermectin, a unique chemical entity.

  • SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

    MODE OF ACTION
    Ivermectin is a member of the macrocylic lactone class of endectocides which have a unique mode of action. Compounds of the class
    bind selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells.

    This leads to an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions with hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle
    cell, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite. Compounds of this class may also interact with other ligand-gated chloride
    channels, such as those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

    The margin of safety for compounds of this class is attributable to the fact that mammals do not have glutamate-gated chloride
    channels, the macrocyclic lactones have a low affinity for other mammalian ligand-gated chloride channels and they do not readily
    cross the blood-brain barrier.

    TREATMENT OF CATTLE FOR HORN FLIES
    Ivermectin Pour-On controls (ivermectin topical solution)controls horn flies (Haematobia irritans) for up to 28 days after dosing. For best results Ivermectin Pour-On (ivermectin topical solution) should be part of a parasite control program for both internal and external parasites based on the epidemiology of these parasites. Consult your veterinarian or an entomologist for the most effective timing of applications.

  • DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION

    DOSAGE
    The dose rate is 1 mL for each 22 lb of body weight. The formulation should be applied along the topline in a narrow strip extending from
    the withers to the tailhead.
    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
    Collapsible packs (1L, 4L, 10L and 20L)

    Connect the applicator gun to the collapsible pack as follows:
    1.    Attach the open end of the draw-off tubing to the dosing gun and attach draw-off tubing to the self-venting cap with the stem.
           (Because of the solvents used in Ivermectin Pour-On (ivermectin topical solution), use dosing equipment compatible with Ivermectin
           Pour-On. Follow manufacturers directions for use and care of the equipment. Other dosing equipment may be incompatible resulting
           in locking, incorrect dosage and leakage.
    2.    Replace the shipping cap with the self-venting draw-off cap which has the stem and tighten this cap.
    3.    Invert the pack and gently prime the dosing gun, check for leaks.
    4.    Follow the manufacturer’s directions for adjusting the dose.
    5.    When the interval between uses of the applicator gun is expected to exceed 12 hours, disconnect the gun and draw-off tubing from the
           product container and empty the product from the gun and tubing back into the product container.
    6.    Follow the applicator gun manufacturer’s directions for priming the gun, adjusting the dose, and care of the applicator gun following use.

    ANIMAL SAFETY
    Studies conducted in the U.S.A. have demonstrated the safety margin for ivermectin. Based on plasma levels, the topically
    applied formulation is expected to be at least as well tolerated by breeding animals as is the subcutaneous formulation which
    had no effect on breeding performance.

  • RESIDUE WARNING

    RESIDUE WARNING: Cattle must not be treated within 48 days of slaughter for human consumption. Because a
    withdrawal time in milk has not been established, do not use in female dairy cattle of breeding age. A withdrawal period
    has not been established for this product in pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.

  • GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

    PRECAUTIONS
    •    Store at or below 25°C (77°F) and protect from light.
          Excursions permitted to 104°F (40°C).
    •    Use only in well-ventilated areas or outdoors.
    •    Close container tightly when not in use.
    •    Cattle should not be treated when hair or hide is wet since
          reduced efficacy may be experienced.
    •    Do not use when rain is expected to wet cattle within six hours
          after treatment.
    •    This product is for application to skin surface only. Do not give
          orally or parenterally.
    •    Cloudiness in the formulation may occur when Ivermectin Cattle
          Pour-On (ivermectin topical solution) is stored at temperatures
          below 32°F. Allowing to warm at room temperature will restore
          the normal appearance without affecting efficacy.
    •    Antiparasitic activity of ivermectin will be impaired if the
          formulation is applied to areas of the skin with mange scabs or
          lesions, or with dermatoses or adherent materials, e.g., caked
          mud or manure.
    •    Ivermectin has been associated with adverse reactions in
          sensitive dogs; therefore, Ivermectin Cattle Pour-On (ivermectin
          topical solution) is not recommended for use in species other
          than cattle.
    •    Restricted Drug (California) - Use only as directed.

  • INFORMATION FOR OWNERS/CAREGIVERS

    WHEN TO TREAT CATTLE WITH GRUBS
    Ivermectin Pour-On (ivermectin topical solution) effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of
    treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble
    fly) season. While this is not peculiar to ivermectin, destruction of Hypoderma larvae (cattle grubs) at the period when these grubs
    are in vital areas may cause undesirable host-parasite reactions. 

    Killing Hypoderma lineatum when it is in the esophageal tissues
    may cause bloat; killing H. bovis when it is in the vertebral canal may cause staggering or paralysis. Cattle should be treated either
    before or after these stages of grub development. 

    Cattle treated with Ivermectin Pour-On (ivermectin topical solution) at the end of the fly season may be re-treated with
    Ivermectin Pour-On (ivermectin topical solution) during the winter without danger of grub-related reactions. For further
    information and advice on a planned parasite control program, consult your veterinarian.

  • WARNINGS

    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, 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.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL WARNING

    ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
    Studies indicate that when ivermectin comes in contact with the soil, it readily and tightly binds to the soil and becomes inactive
    over time. Free ivermectin may adversely affect fish and certain aquatic organisms. Do not permit cattle to enter lakes, streams
    or ponds for at least six hours after treatment. Do not contaminate water by direct application or by the improper
    disposal of drug containers. Dispose of containers in an approved landfill or by incineration.

    As with other avermectins, ivermectin is excreted in the dung of treated animals and can inhibit the reproduction and growth of
    pest and beneficial insects that use dung as a source of food and for reproduction. The magnitude and duration of such
    effects are species and life-cycle specific. When used according to label directions, the product is not expected to have an
    adverse impact on populations of dung-dependent insects.
