These ranges are per kg. Enter your goat's weight to get the precise dose and draw-up volume — unit and concentration math done for you.
Agonist of nematode-specific acetylcholine receptor (MPHCO-1), causing spastic paralysis. No cross-resistance with existing anthelmintic classes.
Primarily for ruminants but investigational in companion animals. Novel resistance class. Do not use in food-producing animals in some jurisdictions.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for goat may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Monepantel pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in goat — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
