This invention relates to long-acting injectable compositions for combating parasites in animals, comprising at least one isoxazoline active agent, a liquid PEG and/or a neutral oil, optionally a co-solvent, and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable additive or excipient. This invention also provides new isoxazoline active agents with long-lasting efficacy against ectoparasites. The invention also provides for improved methods for eradicating, controlling, and preventing parasite infections and infestations in an animal comprising administering the novel isoxazoline compounds and long-acting injectable compositions of the invention to the animal in need thereof.

Sprayable compositions comprising a pyrethroid, a viscosity building agent, an emulsifier or surfactant, and an emollient are provided. The compositions have a viscosity that allows for delivery of the spray from a pressurized container such that the pyrethroid is administered in a consistent amount that uniformly covers the body of a subject. This obviates the need to rub the composition into the skin. In preferred embodiments, the pyrethroid is permethrin; the viscosity building agent is selected from the group consisting of carbomers, xanthan gum, or a combination thereof; the emulsifier or surfactant is selected from the group consisting of glyceryl mononstearate, PEG40 hydrogenated castor oil, cholesterol, steareth-10, steareth-20, and combinations thereof; and the emollient is selected from the group consisting of C12-C15 alkyl benzoates, diisopropyl adipate, silicon oil, mineral oil, or any combination thereof.

The present invention relates to methods of treating or preventing chewing lice infestations of ruminant animals by subcutaneously administering an isoxazoline compound of formula (I).

This invention relates to long-acting injectable formulations for combating parasites in animals, comprising at least one isoxazoline active agent, a poloxamer, and a co-solvent. This invention also provides for improved methods for eradicating, controlling, and preventing parasite infections and infestations in an animal comprising administering the long-acting injectable formulations of the invention to the animal in need thereof.

Methods for safe and effective treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in a subject are described. The methods involve once daily topically applying to an affected skin area a topical composition containing ivermectin and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. It has been demonstrated that once daily topical treatment with ivermectin is significantly superior than twice-daily topical treatment with metronidazole in reducing inflammatory lesion counts.
