Rafoxanide BP Vet

WhatsApp Order

Rafoxanide BP Vet is a halogenated salicylanilide used as a veterinary anthelmintic, specifically effective against liver flukes, gastrointestinal nematodes, and certain ectoparasites in livestock. It works by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation in parasites, disrupting their energy metabolism and leading to their death. Compliant with the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) for veterinary use, Rafoxanide is widely administered to ruminants like cattle, sheep, and goats. It is commonly formulated in oral drenches, boluses, or feed premixes.

Rafoxanide BP Vet

Primary Uses

  1. Veterinary Medicine
  • Anthelmintic for Ruminants:
     Used to treat and control fascioliasis (liver fluke infections) caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica in cattle, sheep, and goats.
  • Nematode Control:
     Active against haematophagous nematodes such as Haemonchus contortus and Bunostomum spp. in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Ectoparasite Treatment:
     Shows efficacy against certain external parasites, including Hypoderma larvae and nasal bots (Oestrus ovis) in sheep.
  • Preventive Use:
     Used prophylactically in fluke-prone grazing regions to prevent fluke infestations in livestock during high-risk seasons.
  1. Livestock Management
  • Enhances overall herd health by eliminating subclinical parasitic burdens that reduce feed efficiency.
  • Used in strategic deworming programs to maintain parasite control and prevent resistance development when rotated with other classes of anthelmintics.

Secondary Uses

  1. Veterinary Formulation Development
  • Used as an active ingredient in the development of combination products for broader-spectrum parasitic control (e.g., with levamisole or albendazole).
  1. Parasitology Research
  • Utilized in veterinary and parasitology studies to assess flukicide efficacy and resistance patterns in livestock parasites.
