BIMECTIN INJECTION

Description

For the control of worms and blue ticks in cattle and sheep, as well as worms and mange mites in pigs. Effective against all species of gastro-intestinal worms, including the 4th stage larvae, and blue ticks (R B decoloratus and R B microplus), including those resistant to topical acaricides. Bimectin is also effective against Thelazia eye worms, nasal worm in sheep, sarcoptic and psoriatic mange mites and sucking lice.
