Cydectin Injectable Solution is a ready to use, sterile solution containing 1% Moxidectin. Moxidectin is an endectocide in the milbemycin chemical class which shares the distinctive mode of action characteristic of macrocyclic lactones. Cydectin Injectable is specially formulated to allow moxidectin to be absorbed from the site of injection and distributed internally to the areas of the body affected by endo 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. Cydectin Injectable is approved for treatment of infections and infestations due to internal and external parasites of cattle. Cydectin Injectable is dung beetle friendly and offers a 21 day slaughter withdrawal time. Cydectin Injectable also provides persistency against specific key species, including Brown stomach worm (Ostertagia ostertagi) 14 days, Lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus) 42 days, Nodular worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum) 42 days, Barber pole worm (Haemonchus placei) 35 days, Stomach hairworm (Trichostrongylus axei) 14 days.
