PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Dectomax Pour-On solution is a ready-to-use, systemically active, clear, light blue solution containing 0.5% w/v doramectin (5 mg/mL). It is formulated to deliver the recommended dosage of 500 mcg/kg (227 mcg/lb) of body weight when given by topical administration at the rate of 1 mL/22 lb (10 kg) of body weight.
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS: Dectomax Pour-On solution is a highly active, broad-spectrum parasiticide for topical administration to cattle. It contains doramectin, a novel fermentation-derived macrocyclic lactone. Doramectin is isolated from fermentations of selected strains derived from the soil organism Streptomyces avermitilis.
A primary mode of action of macrocyclic lactones is to modulate chloride ion channel activity in the nervous system of nematodes and arthropods. Macrocyclic lactones bind to receptors that increase membrane permeability to chloride ions. This inhibits the electrical activity of nerve cells in nematodes and muscle cells in arthropods and causes paralysis and death of the parasites. In mammals, the neuronal receptors to which macrocyclic lactones bind are localized within the central nervous system (CNS), a site reached by only negligible concentrations of doramectin.
One dose of Dectomax Pour-On solution effectively treats and controls a wide range of roundworm and arthropod parasites that impair the health and productivity of cattle.
PRODUCT INDICATIONS: Dectomax Pour-On solution is indicated for the treatment and control of the following species of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, eyeworms, grubs (see PRECAUTIONS), biting and sucking lice, horn flies, and mange mites in cattle.

pplicators (2.5-L and 5-L bottles)
Applicators are available for use with Dectomax Pour-On solution supplied in 2.5- and 5-L backpacks. Directions for 2 recommended applicators are provided below. Some applicators may be incompatible with this formulation.
Phillips Pour-on Applicator System
1. Replace the shipping cap on 2.5- or 5-L backpack with the draw-off cap provided and tighten firmly.
2. Thread the draw-off tubing through the anti-kink spring. Attach the tube to the draw-off cap. Screw the spring counter clockwise over the tubing and draw-off spigot.
3. Invert the backpack.
4. Set the dose to maximum (50 mL). Gently prime the applicator, checking for leaks. To prime, place the nozzle into a clean, dry receptacle and depress lever fully. Pump 3-4 short strokes ensuring that the piston reaches the end of the cylinder, and then release the lever completely to fill the cylinder. A small air bubble may appear within the cylinder. This will not affect the dosing accuracy.
5. Set the required dose and administer.
6. To disconnect the system, proceed as follows:
a) Set backpack in upward position.
b) Discharge residual material from the applicator and draw-off tubing into a separate, clean, dry receptacle.
7. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for care and maintenance of the dosing applicator.
8. Remove the draw-off cap. Replace with the original cap and tighten firmly.
Syrvet Pour-on Applicator System
1. Replace the shipping cap on the 2.5- or 5-L backpack with the draw-off cap provided and tighten firmly.
2. Thread the draw-off tubing through the anti-kink spring. Attach the tube to the draw-off cap. Screw the spring clockwise over the tubing and draw-off spigot.
3. Invert the backpack.
4. Set the dose at the maximum (50 mL) by unscrewing the adjuster at the base of the handle. Gently prime the applicator, checking for leaks. To prime, point the nozzle into a clean, dry receptacle and gently pump the lever back and forth to expel air from the system. When the barrel completely fills after every priming stroke, set the dose.
5. Set the dose as follows:
a) Use the handle to align the middle of the blue plunger ring with the chosen mark on the barrel. Tighten the adjuster screw against the handle.
b) Secure the dose with the adjuster screw locknut.
