Moxidectin – 5g/L

Moxidectin belongs to the macrocyclic lactone family of antiparasitic compounds.
It acts against susceptible internal and external parasites by disrupting their nervous system function.
As with all parasite treatments, resistance can develop. Follow an appropriate parasite-management program and seek veterinary advice when required.
