Mode of Action: Moxidectin is an endectocide in the milbemycin chemical class which shares the distinctive mode of action characteristic of macrocyclic lactones. CYDECTIN (moxidectin) Pour-On is specially formulated to allow moxidectin to be absorbed through the skin 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.

Animal Safety: Tolerance and toxicity studies have demonstrated an adequate margin of safety to allow treatment of cattle of all ages with CYDECTIN Pour-On. No toxic signs were seen in cattle given up to 25 times the recommended dose level. Newborn calves similarly showed no toxic signs when treated with up to three times the recommended dose level within 12 hours of birth and nursing from cows concurrently treated with the recommended dose level of CYDECTIN Pour-On. In breeding animals (bulls and cows in estrous and during early, mid and late pregnancy), treatment with three times the recommended dose level had no effect on breeding performance.

Not For Use In Humans. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. * Warning combustible liquid. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. This product can cause irritation to skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. In case of accidental skin contact and/or clothing contamination, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water and launder clothing with detergent. In case of accidental eye contact, flush eyes with copious amounts of water. When direct inhalation occurs, cleanse lungs and respiratory passages with fresh air. In case of ingestion do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. If irritation or any other symptom attributable to exposure to this product persists, consult your physician. Precautions : For external use only. Do not apply to areas of skin with mange scabs, skin lesions, mud or manure. CYDECTIN Pour-On is not recommended for use in species other than cattle. This product has been formulated specifically for topical use in cattle and should not be used in other animal species or by other routes of administration as adverse reactions may occur. CYDECTIN Pour-On is effective against the migrating stage of cattle grubs (Hypoderma larvae). Treatment with CYDECTIN Pour-On 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 CYDECTIN Pour-On at the end of fly season can be re-treated 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 CYDECTIN Pour-On. Environmental Safety: 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.
