Forum Members,
Any one for advice on Moxidectin. It is here available in South Africa and botled as 0.1% moxidectin. Is this the same as 1mg/ml or am I just a South African with a Finch brain.

You are correct in your assumption Riyaad

CONCENTRATION DOSAGE EQUIVALENCE PERCENT
1:1,000 1mg/mL 0.10%
1:10,000 0.1mg/mL 0.01%

You may also come across instructions written in cc.
1cc of solution = 1 mL (assuming SG of water)

It could also be marketed as Vetafarm Scatt.
It is made here in Aust. but can't be sold here because of red tape.
I have to buy it when I am out of the country,I use it because it is
safe and virtually mug proof.

I dont know why they dont sell it here seems silly.Due to the fact the drug is readily available already in the country.

gomer so what you are saying is that scatt is in actual fact moxidectin or does it contain moxi. I am just curious. I have read quite a lot about it on the net.

From my understanding, moxidectin is the active ingredient, Scatt is the advertised name of the product.

Thats my understanding aswell. Although I thought they used to use ivomectin in it ? Although the saftey margin is not as good with ivomectin.
