- The US FDA has granted Emergency Use Authorization for the use of Ivomec (ivermectin) 1% Injection for the prevention of infestations caused by New World screwworm (NWS) in cattle
- Under the EUA, Ivomec is authorized for NWS prevention when administered within 24hrs. of birth, at castration, or upon wound appearance, with specific exclusions for dairy cattle producing milk & veal calves
- Based on available scientific evidence, the FDA determined Ivomec prevented NWS in certain cattle at critical intervention points, leading to the first EUA for an over-the-counter drug for NWS prevention in cattle
