Ivermectin, a potent antiparasitic agent with activity against internal and external parasites, was delivered to cattle at a controlled zero-order rate for 35 d via orally administered, specially weighted, ALZET 2ML4 osmotic pumps. The osmotic pumps delivered the drug consistently over the trial period. Steady-state levels in plasma were achieved in 7-14 d, and plasma concentration depletion curves were observed to start at approximately day 35, the theoretical delivery lifetime of the osmotic pumps. Bioavailability was estimated to be 40%, and dose rate-plasma steady-state interrelationships were shown to be linear.
Ivermectin is an injectable parasiticide for cattle and swine. One low-volume dose effectively treats and controls the following internal and external parasites that may impair the health of cattle and swine: gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited Ostertagia ostertagi in cattle), lungworms, grubs, sucking lice, and mange mites of cattle; and gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, lice, and mange mites of swine.
