What is Triclabendazole?
Active Ingredients: Triclabendazole
Triclabendazole Boluses are an anthelmintic drug used to treat or prevent certain parasitic infections in animals like cows and sheep. It's indicated for the treatment of mixed trematode (fluke) and nematode, or arthropod infections, due to gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, liver fluke, and nasal bots.
Triclabendazole is classified as a benzimidazole within the family of anthelmintics. It works by inhibiting microtubule formation within the parasite. Triclabendazole shows a narrow spectrum of activity but is an effective treatment for early immature, immature and mature liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica). It has an efficacy of 98 to 100% against 6- to 8-week-old flukes in the liver tissue and adults in the bile ducts, and has a safety margin of up to 16 in sheep.
It is important to note Triclabendazole Boluses are for veterinary purposes only.
