Composition

MILBITRAZ is an Amitraz-based veterinary ectoparasiticide. Available registered-product information identifies the liquid formulation as:

• Suitable emulsifying/solvent base — q.s.

Amitraz belongs to the formamidine/amidine class of acaricides and is used for control of susceptible external parasites. 

The current Indian pack label should be treated as definitive for composition, approved species, dilution and withdrawal periods.

Clinical Description

MILBITRAZ is a concentrated veterinary acaricidal and ectoparasiticidal liquid intended to be diluted before external application.

Amitraz acts on the nervous system of susceptible ectoparasites and is particularly useful for controlling ticks. Registered Milbitraz information also describes activity against lice and mange mites. 

Indications / Recommended Uses

MILBITRAZ may be used, according to its approved label, for control of susceptible:

• Ticks
• Lice
• Mange mites
• Other Amitraz-susceptible ectoparasites

It is primarily used as an external parasite-control treatment for livestock. 

Usage Instructions

FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. DO NOT USE UNDILUTED.

Published field data for Milbitraz Amitraz 12.5% report a dilution of:

2 ML MILBITRAZ in 1 litre of water 

Therefore, a 15 ML pack would prepare approximately 7.5 litres of working solution at that dilution.

Apply the properly diluted solution thoroughly over the animal by the method specified on the product label, ensuring adequate coverage of areas where ticks and other ectoparasites commonly attach.

Always follow the current Indian pack label for dilution, application frequency, approved species and withdrawal period rather than relying solely on general Amitraz recommendations.

Key Benefits

MILBITRAZ provides effective Amitraz-based ectoparasite control and helps:

• Control tick infestations
• Control susceptible lice
• Manage susceptible mange mites
• Reduce ectoparasite burden
• Support healthier skin and coat
• Support livestock health where tick infestation is a significant problem 

Precautions

MILBITRAZ is a concentrated acaricide and must be diluted correctly before application.

Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, skin and mucous membranes of the person handling the concentrate. Wear appropriate protective clothing/gloves during preparation and application.

Do not allow animals or people to drink the diluted solution. Keep the concentrate and prepared solution away from food, feed and drinking-water sources.

Amitraz products can also be hazardous to aquatic organisms, so avoid contamination of ponds, streams and other water sources. 

Possible Adverse Effects

Incorrect dilution, excessive exposure or accidental ingestion of Amitraz may cause toxicity.

Possible signs can include sedation/depression, weakness, reduced heart rate, gastrointestinal effects, altered blood glucose and other neurological or cardiovascular signs.

If accidental poisoning or a significant adverse reaction is suspected, seek veterinary attention immediately.

Storage

Store the original container tightly closed in a cool, dry and secure place, protected from direct sunlight and away from food, feed and drinking water.

Keep out of reach of children and animals. Follow the temperature and storage conditions stated on the current product label.

Important Warning

FOR EXTERNAL VETERINARY USE ONLY.

MILBITRAZ 12.5% is a concentrated Amitraz acaricide and must be properly diluted before use.

Do not automatically apply livestock Amitraz directions to dogs, cats or other companion animals. Cats in particular require special caution with Amitraz exposure. Follow the approved species and instructions on the current product label.

Observe the manufacturer's current milk and meat withdrawal periods for food-producing animals.
