Nitromec Injection fluke and roundworm treatment for cattle
For the treatment and control of nitroxynil, ivermectin and clorsulon sensitive strains of internal and external parasites of cattle, and triclabendazole resistant strains of early immature (including 2-week old stages), immature and adult liver fluke.
Features:
Outstanding control of liver fluke, including the damaging 2-week old early immature stage
Controls triclabendazole resistant strains of liver fluke
Synergised combination of nitroxynil and clorsulon
Worlds first triple combination injection for cattle
Contains ivermectin for broad spectrum control of internal and external parasites
Easy to use subcutaneous injection
Why Choose Nitromec Injection:
The strength of synergy:
Nitromec Injection has been developed by Virbac as the worlds first triple combination injection for cattle.
It contains a combination of nitroxynil, clorsulon and ivermectin where the combination of nitroxynil and clorsulon provides proven synergistic activity against liver fluke.
This synergy makes nitromec one of only two products proven to provide 99% efficacy against two week old early immature stages.
The only other product with an approved label claim specifically for the control of two week old liver fluke is Virbacs Flukazole C Plus Selenium.
Control of roundworms:
Nitromec Injection offers excellent control of ivermectin-sensitive gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworm.
Control of external parasites:
Nitromec Injection controls sucking lice and cattle tick and aids in the control of biting lice and mites.
Drench rotation option:
The effective life of drenches can be extended by rotating drench families to slow the onset of drench resistance.
Nitromec Injection offers an excellent alternative to triclabendazole drenches for liver fluke control.
Recommended For:
Areas where liver fluke is found, typically throughout south-eastern Australia generally where rainfall is 600mm or more or in drier areas where irrigation channels are accessible by livestock.
This includes south-eastern Queensland, eastern New South Wales, most of Victoria and parts of Tasmania and south-eastern South Australia.
Treatment Timings:
Autumn Treatment (compulsory):
7 - 10 days following the first frost. Designed to clean out the fluke prior to the stresses of winter.
Spring treatment (compulsory):
Break the liver fluke lifecycle by removing any fluke that have survived winter. Prevents the contamination of pasture with fluke eggs as temperatures warm up. This treatment should occur prior to the spring break.
Summer / early Autumn (tactical):
Recommended for areas with extended periods of warm conditions. Ideal timing is January or February treatment to suppress fluke numbers.
Mid winter treatment (tactical):
For areas where fluke infection can continue all through the year such as warm coastal areas a mid winter treatment may also be necessary.
Withholding Periods/ESI:
Meat:
56 days (calves born to cows that have been treated with Nitromec Injection during pregnancy must not be slaughtered for human consumption for 56 days after treatment of the dam).
Milk:
Do not use in cattle which are producing milk or may in the future produce milk where the milk or milk products may be used for human consumption.
ESI:
120 days.
Do not use less than 120 days before slaughter for export.
Calves born to cows that have been treated with Nitromec Injection during pregnancy, must no be slaughtered for export for 120 days after the treatment of the dam.

Tips for Best Results
- Weigh animals accurately — never estimate liveweight. Underdosing is the leading cause of treatment failure and contributes directly to the development of drench resistance on your property.
- Rotate drench classes strategically — Nitromec combines nitroxynil, clorsulon, and ivermectin (a macrocyclic lactone). WormBoss recommends rotating between unrelated drench classes and using combination products to reduce selection pressure for resistance. Use drench resistance testing (faecal egg count reduction tests) to confirm which classes are still working on your property before you need them.
- Preserve refugia — WormBoss principles emphasise maintaining a population of worms that have not been exposed to treatment (refugia) to dilute resistance genes in the worm population. Avoid treating every animal in the mob every time; leave low-risk animals untreated where practical and use targeted selective treatment approaches where appropriate.
- Storage and records — Store Nitromec as directed on the label, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Keep accurate treatment records including date, mob, liveweight, batch number, and withholding period expiry — this is essential for livestock movement compliance and for tracking resistance trends over time on your property.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
