Safety of Moxidectin

Depending upon the specific ingredients, products used for the treatment and/or control of external and/or internal parasites must be approved either by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Manufacturers of these products must submit extensive preclinical and clinical data supporting the safety and efficacy of these treatments. The federal regulatory agencies extensively evaluate the data, weighing the benefits vs. risks, before approving a treatment. The regulatory agency's role does not end at approval, they continue to monitor the safety of the treatment the entire time it is on the market.

Numerous clinical studies have been conducted, supporting the claim that when used as directed, treatments with moxidectin are safe and effective. These studies have been specifically conducted in large populations of dogs, cats, horses, and cattle. However, before using a treatment with moxidectin for your dog or cat, there are a few things you should discuss with your veterinarian.
