Bimeda® US Launches Doracide™ (doramectin topical solution)

Schaumburg, Illinois (May 19, 2025) – Bimeda is pleased to announce the expansion of its anti-parasitic portfolio with the addition of Doracide. Doracide is bioequivalent to Dectomax® Pour-On (Zoetis®). Doracide contains 0.5% doramectin (5mg/mL), the dose is 5 mL/110 lbs and it is available in a 5 liter presentation.

​Doracide is a convenient weatherproof formulation and controls 33 types of internal and external parasites including gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, eyeworms, grubs, horn flies, mange mites and sucking lice in cattle. It is the only pour-on to provide 28 days of protection against some of the most damaging internal parasites including Ostertagia ostertagi, Cooperia oncophora, C punctata, Haemonchus spp., nodular worms (Oesophagostomum spp.) and lungworms (Dictyocaulus spp.). Doracide also offers the longest duration of protection against two species of cattle lice, 77 days for Biting Cattle Louse (Bovicola (Damalinia) bovis) and 42 days for Long-Nose Cattle Louse (Linognathus vituli).

​We at Bimeda are excited to offer yet another product to our broad line of anti-parasiticides. Doracide is one more option in our arsenal of products that is effective against profit-robbing parasites in cattle.

​Doracide is not for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age and older, or calves to be processed for veal. It has a 45-day withdrawal time.
