Description

Levamisole is an imidazothiazole that acts by interfering with parasite nerve transmission causing muscular paralysis. It is effective against adult and immature gastro-intestinal roundworm and lungworm infections. Oxyclozanide is a salicylanilide which is mainly active against adult liver flukes. It is distributed to the liver, kidney and intestines and is excreted in the bile.

Indications

For the treatment and control of both gastro-intestinal and pulmonary nematode infections and adult liver fluke infections in cattle and sheep. Interzan Oral should be used in cases of parasitic gastroenteritis and lungworm caused by those organisms sensitive to treatment with levamisole hydrochloride. Levamisole is effective against mature and developing immature stages of a wide range of important nematode species and is highly effective against the following lungworms and gastrointestinal worms: Dictyocaulus spp., Trichostrongyles spp., Cooperia spp., Ostertagia spp. (except inhibited Ostertagia larvae), Haemonchus spp., Nematodirus spp., Bunostomum spp., Oesophagostomum spp. and Chabertia spp.

Interzan Oral also removes most mature Fasciola spp. (flukes) present in the bile ducts of the liver.
