Niclosamide Bolus 1250 Mg

Niclosamide Bolus is anthelmintic containing Niclosamide B.P. Vet, active against tapeworms and intestinal flukes such as paramphistomum in ruminants.

Niclosamide Bolus is indicated in both tapeworm infestation of Livestock, Poultry, Dogs and Cats and also in immature paramphistomiasis (Amphistomiasis) of Cattle, Sheep and Goats.

Cattle, Sheep Goats and Deer: Moniezia Species Thysanosoma (Fringed Tape worms)

Dogs: Dipylidium Caninum, Taenia Pisiformis T. hydatigena and T. taeniaeformis.

Horses: Anoplocephalid infections.

Poultry: Raillietina and Davainea.

Amphistomiasis: (Immature Paramphistomes).

In cattle and Sheep, Rumen flukes (Paramphistomum species) is very common. Whereas the adult flukes attached to the rumen wall could be of little significance, the immature ones are seriously pathogenic causing heavy damage and mortality while migrating in the duodenal wall.

Animals showing symptoms of severe anorexia, increased intake of water, and watery fetid diarrhoea should be suspected for amphistomiasis and immediately treated with Niclosamide Bolus to prevent death and loss of production since Niclosamide Bolus provides consistently very high efficacy against the immature flukes.
