Elanco's CLiK™ Extra (dicyclanil topical suspension) Wound Spray Receives FDA Emergency Use Authorization for Application on or Around Wounds for Prevention of New World[...]

Vigilance and early intervention are key to minimizing animal injury and limiting the parasite's spread, according to Elanco's technical experts

• Emergency Use Authorization for Elanco's CLiK Extra provides livestock producers with a vital tool in the prevention of New World screwworm infestations.
• Elanco also offers producers Negasunt^® Powder (coumaphos, propoxur, and sulfanilamide topical powder) and Tanidil^®, which received emergency authorizations earlier this year, as well as EPA-registered Catron™ IV.
• Elanco's technical experts emphasize "eyes on livestock" and early intervention are the most effective ways to minimize animal injury and prevent the parasite's spread.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) today announced it has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for CLiK Extra (dicyclanil topical suspension) wound spray for application on or around wounds to prevent infestations of New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) larvae (myiasis) in sheep, cattle, goats, swine and camelids, as well as captive and captured cervids, American bison, bighorn sheep and Sonoran pronghorn.

Livestock producers and veterinarians can apply Elanco's CLiK Extra spray on or around wounds, including those associated with birth and following surgical procedures, on animals to help prevent infestations of New World screwworm larvae before they occur. However, if a wound is already infested or an infestation develops after administration, alternative treatment will be necessary since CLiK Extra has not been shown to treat active New World screwworm infestations.

Elanco's Negasunt Powder and Tanidil received emergency authorizations for prevention and treatment of New World screwworm earlier this year. These products will be available only through the U.S. Animal Plant Health and Inspection Service (APHIS) and its National Veterinary Stockpile as distributed in coordination with state animal health officials and federally recognized tribal agencies.

Elanco also offers producers Catron IV, one of the few EPA registered products labeled for treatment against screwworm in a variety of livestock species. This screwworm and ear tick spray can help producers kill and control screwworm flies and maggots on beef and dairy cattle, sheep, goats, hogs and horses.

The reentry of New World screwworm into the U.S., which was confirmed by the United States Department of Agriculture in June, poses a critical risk to farmers and ranchers, pet owners and the veterinary community.ⁱ Unlike other pests, screwworm larvae aggressively consume the living flesh of their hosts, making them a danger to any warm-blooded animal, ranging from livestock and companion animals to wildlife and humans.ⁱⁱ

"Education is a producer's most powerful tool in this fight," says Dr. M. Wayne Ayers, DVM, Senior Technical Consultant for Elanco. Ayers advises that staying informed through trusted experts and knowing exactly where the fly is active are top priorities.

"The second pillar of protection is prevention," he says. "By checking animals as often as possible and using appropriate wound care for any noticeable lesions or sores, producers can potentially avoid conditions that might lead to New World screwworm larvae infestations. Speed is crucial. It minimizes injury to the animal, lowers the risk of death, and most importantly, prevents the next generation of flies from completing their lifecycle and expanding the outbreak."

"Now that New World screwworm is back in the United States, we want producers to know they don't have to figure this out alone," Ayers continued. "Elanco is here to help. We can look at your current situation to help you see where you can sharpen your protocols and ensure you're reaching for the right product at exactly the right moment to protect your animals."

CLiK Extra will be available for purchase by animal health professionals, livestock producers and those managing captive and captured wildlife through standard product channels.
