FDA Approves New Drug for Screwworms
About this episode
The FDA has approved nitenpyram to combat the resurgence of New World screwworms in Texas and New Mexico.
FDA just approved nitenpyram — originally for fleas — to tackle the deadly New World screwworm making a comeback in Texas and New Mexico. This fast-acting treatment kills larvae within hours, but requires vet help and isn’t a prevention tool. With cases rising and the pest moving north from Panama, pet owners need to stay alert — especially for open wounds on dogs and cats over 2 pounds and 4 weeks old.
