Amprolin-300 Ws

 Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Composition:
Contains per gram powder:
300 mg. Amprolium hydrochloride
1 g. Carrier ad


Description:
Amprolium is a coccidiostat (antiprotozoal) used for the treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in calves, sheep, goats, chickens (broilers and breeders) and other fowl such as turkeys, with activity against Eimeria spp., especially Eimeria tenella and Eimeria necatrix. It is a thiamine (vitamin B1) analogue and its pharmacological effect relies on competitive inhibition of thiamine uptake. Amprolium competitively inhibits the active transport of thiamine in isolated second-generation schizonts of Eimeria spp., and in host intestinal cells. Upon ingestion of amprolium, the coccidia experience thiamin deficiency and starve from malnutrition.

Indications:
Amprolin-300 WS is indicated for coccidiosis caused by coccidia susceptible to amprolium (Eimeria spp.) or gastrointestinal infections for which it is therapeutically or prophylactically indicated to administer amprolium, in calves, goats, sheep and poultry.

Contra indications:
The use of amprolium is prohibited from a laying age onwards. Do not administer to poultry whose eggs are intended for human consumption, or to animals with impaired liver and/or renal functions. Do not administer to turkeys before the age of 8 to 10 weeks.

Side effects:
Overdosage of amprolium can suppress weight gain in broilers and cause polyneuritis. Long-term administration of amprolium in high doses may result in thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency in the host. To treat amprolium overdose, thiamine should be administered parenterally or orally.
