Contains per g:
Amprolium HCl 20 mg
Description:
Amprolium HCl is a coccidiostat (anti-protozoal) that works by inhibiting the use of thiamine by the protozoal parasites, which results in disruption of cell metabolism. It inhibits the development of merozoites and formation of second-generation meronts. Amprolium is rapidly eliminated (within hours) from the body via kidneys and has a very good safety profile.
Indications:
Amprolium is used for the treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in calves, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, etc with activity against Eimeria spp., especially E. tenella and E. necatrix. It is also effective against other protozoal infections like Histomoniasis (Blackhead) in turkeys and poultry; and amaebiasis in various species.
Contra-Indications:
Do not use in layers producing eggs for human consumption.
Side Effects:
Long-term use may cause delayed growth or poly-neuritis (caused by reversible thiamine deficiency). The development of natural immunity may also be delayed.
Incompatibility With Other Drugs:
Do not combine with other medicines like antibiotics and feed additives.
