BrandMerial
LONGRANGE (eprinomectin) is a ready-to-use, sterile injectable preparation containing eprinomectin, a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of antiparasitics. Each mL of LONGRANGE contains 50 mg of eprinomectin in a co-solvent system of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (30% v/v) and triacetin (qs), along with 50 mg of poly-lactide-co-glycolic-acid 75:25 (PLGA), a polymer that allows a slow release of eprinomectin from the formulation, thereby maintaining a prolonged duration of product effectiveness. Butylated hydroxytoluene (0.2 mg/mL) acts as an antioxidant in the formulation.
The chemical name of eprinomectin is 4”-deoxy-4”-epiacetylaminoavermectin B1. It is a semi-synthetic member of the avermectin family of compounds consisting of a mixture of two homologous components, B1a and B1b, which differ by a single methylene group at C26.
LongRange contains eprinomectin, an extended-release injectable parasiticide for cattle on pastures useful for the treatment and control of roundworms, lungworms, grubs, and mites. Each ml of LongRange contains 50 mg eprinomectin, a macrocyclic lactone. One dose in the spring provides 100 to 150 days of protection from gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworms. Administer 1 ml per 110 lbs. by SQ injection in front of the shoulder. LongRange is not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive grazing. Not for use in breeding bulls, calves less than 3 months of age, or female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older.
LongRange is the first extended-release injection that delivers 100 to 150 days of parasite control in a single dose, thanks to its unique Theraphase technology. The unique Theraphase formulation allows LongRange to go to work immediately and continue to work for an extended period of time. A single spring treatment works long enough to break the parasite life cycle and reduce pasture reinfestation.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
