Product Advantages:

  • Unique chemistry-unrelated to existing formulations: Because Ivermectin Sheep Drench is chemically different, cross-resistance is unlikely in parasite strains which may have developed resistance to other wormers. 
  • Broad-spectrum effectiveness: One low-volume dose effectively treats and controls many gastrointestinal roundworms (including Haemonchus contortus), lungworms and nasal bots. 
  • Easy administration: Ivermectin Sheep Drench can be administered with any standard drenching equipment that provides a consistent dose volume. 

Directions For Use:

Ivermectin Sheep Drench may be used in any standard drenching equipment or in any equipment which provides a consistent dose volume. Ivermectin Sheep Drench is administered orally at a dose of 3.0 mL (2.4 mg ivermectin) per 26 lbs body weight or 200 mcg ivermectin per kilogram of body weight.
