Rosenkrantz says there are many questions which still need answering, so he’s hoping for additional research. Experts aren’t yet exactly clear on how often to dose ProMeris specifically for Demodectic mange. And since the product is fairly new, there are no long-term studies to indicate ultimate cures. Still, Rosenkrantz says the availability of ProMeris makes him “happy.”
