IVOMEC Pour-On (ivermectin topical solution) controls horn flies (Haematobia irritans) for up to 28 days after dosing. For best results IVOMEC 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

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.

ADMINISTRATION

Metering Cup with Measure-Squeeze-Pour System 250 mL (8.5 fl oz) Container with 25 mL Metering Cup and 1 Liter (33.8 fl oz) Container with 60 mL Metering Cup)

This pack contains 1 Metering Cup and 1 dip tube

1. Insert the dip tube into base of the Metering Cup. Leave the “slotted end” of the dip tube exposed in the bottom of the container.
2. Unscrew shipping cap from container top.
3. Screw the Metering Cup onto container top.
4. Measure: To select the correct dose rate, rotate the adjuster cap (top) in either direction to position the dose indicator to the weight of the animal you want to treat. When body weight is between markings, use the higher setting.
5. Squeeze the container gently to fill the Metering Cup to the required dose. Release your grip and any excess will return to the container.
6. Pour: Apply the full dose by tipping and pouring along the backline of the animal until the Metering Cup is empty.

Environmental Safety

Studies indicate that when ivermectin comes in contact with soil it readily and tightly binds to the soil and becomes inactive over time. Free ivermectin may adversely affect fish or 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.
