Oxyclozanide Vet BP is a veterinary anthelmintic effective mainly against liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) and some intestinal flukes in ruminants such as cattle, sheep, and goats. It works by interfering with the parasite’s energy metabolism, leading to parasite death and improving animal health and productivity.

Oxyclozanide Vet BP

Primary Uses

Liver Fluke Control in Ruminants
- Treats acute and chronic infections caused by Fasciola hepatica.
- Reduces liver damage and associated clinical symptoms (anemia, weight loss).
- Improves productivity (milk yield, weight gain) in infected animals.
Control of Intestinal Trematodes
- Effective against Paramphistomum spp. and other rumen flukes.
- Helps maintain gastrointestinal health and digestion efficiency.
Veterinary Anthelmintic Therapy
- Used as a stand-alone treatment for fluke infections in cattle and sheep.
- Administered orally in doses according to veterinary prescription.

Secondary Uses

Preventive Deworming Programs
- Used strategically during high-risk seasons to prevent heavy fluke infestations.
- Reduces pasture contamination by minimizing parasite egg shedding.
Combination Therapy
- Occasionally combined with other antiparasitic agents (e.g., albendazole) for broader parasite spectrum coverage.
Goat and Other Ruminant Use
- Off-label use under veterinary supervision for fluke treatment in goats and other ruminants.
Improvement of Meat and Dairy Quality
- By controlling parasitic infections, it helps improve overall animal health and product quality.
Use in Mixed-Parasite Infections
- Helpful in farms where liver fluke infections occur alongside other gastrointestinal parasites, as part of integrated parasite management.
Research and Diagnostic Uses
- Used in veterinary research to study fluke resistance and pharmacodynamics.
