In response to the Texas screwworm outbreak, the Food and Drug Administration has approved several animal drugs. These medications are intended to combat the screwworm infestation affecting animals in the state. The approved treatments include a generic medication that can be used on household pets.

This means that dogs and cats can now be treated with a more affordable option. Further information on the approved drugs and their use can be found through Texas Public Radio, which has reported on the development. Details on the specific medications and their applications are available from this source.
