Cydectin 1% Injection for Sheep is for the prevention and treatment of psoroptic mange (scab) in sheep and also for the treatment and control of infections caused by moxidectin sensitive strains of both endoparasites and ectoparasitesInject subcutaneously (under the skin) in the neck. Use sterile 18 gauge needles or smaller, of half inch (1.5 cm) length. Ensure that the needle is inserted carefully under the skin using aseptic precautions and that product does not leak from the injection site. Be certain that the needle has penetrated the skin before delivering the dose. To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.Moxidectin is rapidly and completely absorbed following subcutaneous injection with maximum blood concentrations being achieved 8-12 hours post injection. The drug is distributed throughout the body tissues but due to its lipophilicity the target tissue is fat where concentrations are 10 - 20 times those of in other tissues. The depletion half life in fat is 23-28 days.It is important to treat at the recommended dosage and to avoid under-dosing since this will result in spread of sheep scab.
