INDICATIONS:
BIOMEC 10 mg/ml injection solution is indicated for the effective treatment and prevention of spreading of the following parasitic diseases:
Cattle:
Gastrointestinal round worms (both imagos and developmental stages)
Ostertagia ostertagi (including inhibited larvae)
Ostertagia lyrata
Haemonchus placei
Trichostrongylus axei
Trichostrongylus colubriformis
Cooperia oncophora
C. punctata
C. pectinata
Oesophagostomum radiatum
Bunostomum phlebotomum

Eye helminths: Thelazia spp. (imagos) Warble flies (parasitic stages):
Hypoderma bovis Hypoderma lineatum
Mites:
Psoroptes bovis Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis
Lice:
Linognathus vituli
Haematopinus eurysternus
Solenopotes capillatus
BIOMEC 10 mg/ml inj. can be used as an adjuvant to avoid spreading of bird-lice (Damalinia bovis) and mite (Chorioptes bovis); nevertheless their full elimination is not guaranteed.
Efficacy in cattle:
BIOMEC 10 mg/ml inj. when administered at the recommended dose of 1 ml/50 kg of body weight, provides the effective prevention of spreading of Haemonchus placei and Trichostrongylus axei for 14 days, Ostertagia ostertagi radiatum for 21 days and Dictylocaulus viviparus for 28 days since the administration.
Sheep:
Gastrointestinal round worms:
Haemonchus contortus
Ostertagia circumcincta
Trichostrongylus axei (imagos)
T. colubriformis
T. vitrinus
Nematodirus filicolis
N.spathiger (immature stages)
Cooperia curticei
Oesophagostomum columbianum
O. venulosum (imagos)
Chabertia ovina
Trichuris ovis (imagos)
Strongyloides papillosus (developmental stages)
Gaigeria pachyscelis
Spreading is also inhibited in benzimidazole-resistant strains of Haemonchus contortus and Ostertagia circumcincta.
Lung nematodes:
Dictylocaulus filaria
Protostrongylus rufescens
Nose warble flies (all larval stages):
Oestrus ovil
Scabies:
Psoroptes conmmunis var. ovis
Sarcoptes scabiei
Psorergates ovis
(1) For treatment of sheep scabies induced by Psoroptes, the injection is administered twice at the interval of 7 days. The single application can only reduce the number of mites and thus create the impression that the clinical scabies has been eradicated.

Gastrointestinal round worms:
Ascaris suum
Hyostrongylus rubidus
Oesophagostomum spp.
Strongyloides ransomi
Lung nematodes:
Metastrongylus spp.
Other worms:
Stephanurus dentatus
Lice:
Haematopinus suis
Scabies:
Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis
