- DECTOMAX Injectable Solution has been developed specifically for use in cattle and swine only. This product should not be used in other animal species because severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result.

Beef Injections should be given using 16- to 18-gauge needles, regardless of administration route. Needles 1/2 to 3/4 inches in length are suggested for SC injections, which should be given under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder. A 1 1/2-inch needle is suggested for IM injections. The only area for IM injections is the muscular region of the neck - Swine: Administer Dectomax injectable solution at the recommended dosage of 300 mcg doramectin per kg (136 mcg/lb) of body weight. Each ml contains 10 mg of doramectin, sufficient to treat 75 lb (34 kg) of body weight. To effectively initiate control of mange and sucking lice in swine, it is important to treat all animals in the herd. Administer Dectomax injectable solution by the intramuscular route. Inject in the neck region using an 18 gauge x 1” needle for young animals; a 16 gauge x 1-1/2” needle for sows and boars.
