Startect delivers a new level of
confidence when it comes to drenching and staying a step ahead
of resistance
- Startect is an
effective short-acting sheep drench that can be
used to manage drench resistance and optimise
productivity. 1-4, 13
- The first new class of
drench to be released in combination to protect
itself from resistance from the beginning.
1
- Contains a completely
novel active, derquantel
(10mg/mL), the first commercial member of an
anthelmintic class, the Spiroindoles (SI).
- Derquantel’s novel
mode of action sets it apart from other
anthelmintics. Derquantel acts as an antagonist
by blocking the effect of acetylcholine, to
cause flacid paralysis and expulsion of
nematodes.
1
- Purposely combined
with abamectin (1mg/mL), a broad spectrum
anthelmintic from the macrocyclic lactone (ML)
class. This dual combination means each active
protects the other against resistance.

- When used as part of a
routine drench programme, Startect also extends
the useful life of older drenches by cleaning up
resistant worms that have survived previous
drenches. 6,7
