Doramectin (Dectomax)

Artikal ini saya copy-paste melalui 'Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia' semasa tengah pening memikirkan masalah arnab- arnab saya yang dijangkiti kurap dan kutu. Selama ini saya hanya guna rawatan menggunakan Ivermectin utk fungus dan parasit. Selepas ini mungkin saya akan selang-seli pengunaannya. Berikut adalah artikal berkenaan Doramectin......

Doramectin (Dectomax) is a veterinary drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of parasites such as gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, eyeworms, grubs, sucking lice and mange mites in cattle.[1]

It is used for the treatment and control of internal parasitosis (gastrointestinal and pulmonary nematodes), ticks and mange (and other ectoparasites). Doramectin is a derivative of ivermectin. Its spectrum includes: Haemonchus spp., Ostertagia spp., Trichostrongylus spp., Cooperia spp., Oesophagostomum spp., Dyctiocaulus viviparus, Dermatobia hominis, Boophilus microplus, Psoroptes bovis, among many other internal and external parasites. It is available in 2 dosage forms: as an injection and as a 5 mg/ml topical solution.

Doramectin is also marketed in many Latin-American and some Asia and Africa countries as Doramec L.A. (manufactured by Agrovet Market Animal Health[2]) in an 1% Doramectin Long Acting Injectable Solution for cattle, sheep, swine[3] and others. Its oleous carrier confers to Doramec L.A. a slow and prolonged liberation, extending its action up to 42 days.

Doramectin is also available for horses[3] as an oral flavored bioadhesive gel under the name Doraquest L.A. Oral Gel.[4] It can be used to control and treat internal parasites as roundworms, lungworms and some external parasites.

Ohhhh...begitu rupanya...tak disebut pun penggunaan doramectin untuk binatang kecil seperti arnab atau kucing...tapi kenapa ada pihak yang melakukan rawatan terhadap arnab menggunakan bahan ini? Mungkin sebagai ujikaji sendiri? atau doramectin ini telah melalui tranformasi untuk penggunaannya terhadap semua jenis haiwan mengikut dos yang ditetapkan...ok ..takper..saya akan berusaha cari jawapan atas permasalahan ini...
