-As an injectable solution, it offers precision dosing.

-It is a tissue-friendly injectable solution that can be administered by subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) injection in the neck region.

-it is highly effective against all stages of cattle grubs. However, the proper timing of treatment is important.

-For most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble) season.

-Destruction of Hypoderma larvae (cattle grubs) when these grubs are in vital areas may cause undesirable host-parasite reactions, including the possibility of fatalities.

-Killing Hypoderma lineatum when it is in the tissue surrounding the gullet may cause bloat. Killing H. bovis when it is in the vertebral canal may cause staggering or paralysis.

-These reactions are not specific to treatment with DECTOMAX, but can occur with any systemic treatment for grubs.

-Cattle should be treated either before or after these stages of grub development.

-Consult your veterinarian concerning the proper time for treatment.

-Cattle treated with it after the end of heel fly season may retreat during the winter for internal parasites, mange mites, or lice without danger of grub-related reactions.

-A planned parasite control program is recommended.
