Albendazole 75mg 30-100 Tablets Dewormer Anthelmintic Antiparasitic

Composition

1 g of the drug (1 tablet) contains:

albendazole – 75 mg

Description

Tablets are white or light gray in color, round or oval in shape, flat.

Pharmacological properties

Broad-spectrum anthelmintic from the group of benzimidazoles. It inhibits protein (tubular) synthesis, as a result, the intake and intracellular transport of nutrients, the exchange of substrates (adenosine triphosphoric acid and glucose) are disrupted, mitochondrial reactions are reduced due to the inhibition of fumarate reductase, which causes the death of parasites.

Effective against some larvae, as well as young and sexually mature nematodes that parasitize in the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract of animals, cestodes in the pre-imaginal and imaginal stages of the life cycle, sexually mature trematodes.

Contraindication

Do not prescribe to females in the first third of pregnancy, to ewes during the mating period and in the first month after the removal of rams from the flock.

 

Method of application and dosage

Before use, the drug is mixed with food and given once at the beginning of the morning feeding.

Doses for different species of animals are indicated in the table.

Kind of animals	Types of helminths	Dose, g / 10 kg of body weight
Cattle	nematodes, cestodes	1
	trematodes	1.3-2
Sheep, goats	nematodes, cestodes	0.7
	trematodes	1
Horses and other equids	nematodes, cestodes	0.7
Dogs, cats, fur animals	nematodes, cestodes	3
	trematodes	3.5

For individual deworming of adult ruminants, tablets are forced to the root of the tongue.

For cattle that graze on pastures, therapeutic and preventive deworming is carried out at the beginning and at the end of the stall period.

In the case of fasciolosis in ruminants, the drug is used at any time of the year. Depending on the intensity of the infestation, which is determined by the average number of fasciola eggs in five stool samples, the drug is used in the following doses per 10 kg of body weight:

• up to 4 eggs (weak intensity) — 1.3 g;
• 5-10 eggs (medium intensity) — 1.5-1.7 g.

Given that albendazole is ineffective against fasciol larvae, the first preventive deworming is carried out 2-2.5 months after the end of the grazing period, and the second one no later than 10-15 days before the animals are driven to the pasture.

Reservation

After the last use of the drug, cattle, sheep, goats can be slaughtered for meat after 10 days. Liver, kidneys, lungs, heart of ruminant animals can be consumed by humans after 20 days, milk – after 2 days.

Storage conditions

In a dry, dark place at temperatures from 0 to +30 °C.
