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. Similarly to other drugs of this family, it is produced by fermentation by selected strains of Streptomyces avermitilis.[2][3] Its spectrum includes: Haemonchus, Ostertagia, Trichostrongylus, Cooperia, and Oesophagostomum species and Dictyocaulus viviparus, Dermatobia hominis, Boophilus microplus, and Psoroptes bovis, among many other internal and external parasites. It is available as an injection and as a 5-mg/ml topical solution.[citation needed]
Doramectin is also marketed in many Latin-American and some Asia and Africa countries as Doramec L.A. (manufactured by Agrovet Market Animal Health[4]) in a 1% Doramectin Long Acting Injectable Solution for cattle, sheep, swine[5] 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[5] as an oral, flavored, bioadhesive gel under the name Doraquest L.A. Oral Gel.[6] It can be used to control and treat internal parasites as roundworms, lungworms and some external parasites.
