Product Description: For Veterinary Use Only
Composition:
Each ml. contains
Albendazole 50mg
Xanthan gum, Purified Water.
Description:
An off-white suspension.
Pharmacological properties:
A broad spectrum multi-purpose anthelmintic for the control of mature
and developing immature forms of gastrointestinal rounds, lungworms,
tapeworms, and adult liver fluke in cattle, sheep, and goats. The
product is also ovicidal against fluke and roundworm eggs.
Benzimidazoles bind to nematode tubulin, a protein necessary for the formation and viability of
microtubules. This occurs primarily in absorptive intestinal cells
resulting in the absence of microtubules in the intestinal cells of the
nematode, with the result that these cells cannot absorb nutrients, thus
causing a consequent reduction in glycogen and effective starvation of
the parasites. Structural differences have been shown to exist between
tubulin from mammalian and helminth sources, resulting in the
preferential toxicity of albendazole to the helminti and not to the
host. Benzimidazoles have also been shown to inhitit the fumarate
reductase system of helminths and impair energy production.
