Product Highlights:

• DECTOMAX Injectable solution was the first cattle endectocide or anthelmintic labeled for extended activity—up to 21 days—against Ostertagia ostertagi, one of the most damaging internal parasites. Controlling infection over an extended period delays accumulation of adult worms, subsequently reducing the number of parasite eggs shed onto pasture.
• DECTOMAX also protects against infection or reinfection with Dictyocaulaus viviparus, Oesophagostomum radiatum and Cooperia punctata for up to 28 days.
• No other single injectable product controls a broader spectrum of internal and external parasites as DECTOMAX—including 36 stages of adult parasites, L₄ larvae and inhibited larvae.
• As an injectable solution, DECTOMAX offers precision dosing.
• DECTOMAX is a tissue-friendly injectable solution that can be administered by subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) injection in the neck region. The recommended route is via SQ injection to minimize the risk of injection-site blemishes and is in accord with Beef Quality Assurance guidelines.

DECTOMAX is safe for use in beef cattle, including pregnant cows, newborn calves and bulls.
