First over-the-counter drug to protect cattle from screwworm gets FDA emergency use approval
As concern about New World screwworm grows, the Food and Drug Administration has granted emergency use authorization (EUA) to an anti-parasitic drug to prevent infestations by the parasite in cattle.
The injectable product from Boehringer Ingelheim, IVOMEC, can be administered to calves within 24 hours of birth, at the time of castration, or when a wound appears, according to FDA. Female dairy cattle producing milk for human consumption and calves that will be processed for veal are not eligible
