Cydectin Sheep Drench

For treatment and control of Infections due to internal parasites of sheep.

Cydectin oral drench for sheep is a ready-to-use solution containing 0.1% moxidectin. Moxidectin is an endectocide in the milbemycin chemical class which shares the distinctive mode of action characteristic of macrocyclic lactones. Moxidectin acts by interfering with chloride channel-medicated neurotransmission in the parasite. This results in paralysis and elimination of the parasite.

Effective in the treatment and control of adult and larval (L4) stages of the following parasites of sheep:

• Haemonchus Contortus
• Teladorsagia circumcinta
• Teladorsagia trifurcata
• Trichostrongylus axei
• Trichostrongylus colubriformis
• Trichostrongylus vitrinus
• Cooperia curticei
• Cooperia oncophora
• Oesophagostomum columbianum
• Oesophagostomum venulosum
• Nematodirus battus
• Nematodirus filicollis
• Nematodirus spathiger



Unlike other wormers, Cydectin does not affect the dung beetle life cycle. Dung beetles break down manure pats. The breakdown prevents smothering of the grass and eliminates the non-grazed area next to the pat. Dung beetles are a benefit to your pasture and Cydectin significantly less toxic to dung beetles than other popular wormers.

Administration: Cydectin Oral Drench is ready-to-use. Administer 1 mL per 11 lb (1 mL per 5 kg) body weight into the mouth of the sheep, using any standard drenching equipment. Check dose rates and equipment before drenching.

Do not overdose. Do not mix with any other products before administration. Avoid contaminating the drench solution.

Withdrawal prior to slaughter - 7 days. Because a withholding time in milk has not been established for this product, do not use in female sheep providing milk for human consumption. See additional Warnings on label.

Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism.
