Divide doses of Ivomec Injection between two injection
sites in cattle if they are greater than 10 mL.

intramuscularly.
Sterilize sites of injection, needles, and rubber
stoppers to help prevent infections. Consult a veterinarian for suspected
infections.
Take care to prevent reinfection from untreated
animals or contaminated facilities.
Louse eggs are unaffected by Ivomec Injection. Eggs
take up to 3 weeks to hatch, and resulting infestations may require
another treatment.
For most effective treatment of grubs in cattle,
treat as soon as possible at the end of heel fly season.
As with any successful treatment of cattle grubs,
treatment with Ivomec may cause adverse reactions when grubs are terminated
in vital areas of the host. Fatalities are possible. Killing cattle
grubs when they are in the tissue surrounding the esophagus may cause
bloating and excess salivation. Killing cattle grubs when they are in
vertebral canal may cause staggering or paralysis. Consult your veterinarian
to ensure treatment at the proper times.
Do not contaminate water or soil with this product.
Dispose of empty containers in an approved landfill or by incineration.
Ivermectin is excreted in the dung. While it can
affect insects that rely on dung for food or reproductive purposes,
Ivomec should not have adverse effects on insect populations when used
as recommended.
Tell your veterinarian if the animal(s) you are
treating takes any drugs or supplements.
