Nitroxynil

Nitroxynil is indicated for the treatment of fascioliasis (infestation of both mature & immature fasciola) in cattle and sheep. It is also effective at the recommended dose rate against adult and larval stages of Haemonchus contortus in cattle and sheep and Haemonchus placei, Oesophagostomum radiatum and Bunostomum phlebotomum in cattle.

Cattle, Sheep & Goats:

• SC Route: 10 mg per kg body weight or 1 ml per 25 kg body weight. In case of acute fascioliasis (immature flukes ) increase the dose to 1.3 ml per kg body weight.

Pheasants or Game Bird:

• SC Route: 15 mg per kg body weight or dilute 1 ml with 9 ml water for injection for preparing 2.5% solution or dilute 1 ml with 99 ml water for injection for preparing 0.25% solution. Dose depending upon weight of the pheasants.
• Oral Route: 15 mg per kg body weight or 5 ml per 10 liter of drinking water. Decrease the dosage by half for young pheasants less than 5 weeks of age or when water consumption is increased (hot weather).

Dogs:

• SC route: 10 mg per kg body weight or 0.4 ml per 10 kg body weight.
• Oral Route: 15 mg per kg body weight or 0.6 ml per 10 kg body weight. The solution may be diluted as follows: 1 ml of Nitroxynil in 9 ml of water for injection (2.5% solution), In this case inject 1 ml of dilute solution per 2.5 kg body weight.

Next Dosage: Administer a single treatment in case of massive infestation repeat, if necessary after 3 weeks. Or as directed by the registered veterinarian.

Injection should not be mixed with any other preparation. Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.

No systemic ill-effects are to be expected when animals (including pregnant cows and ewes) are treated at normal dosage. It is four times safer than the therapeutic dose. In case of any reaction or accidental over dosage, dextrose saline should be administrated intravenously. Keep the animal in cool place.

Dairy cows should be treated at drying off (at least 15 days before calving). As Nitroxynil passed in milk, it is better avoiding it in lactating cows. Ewes in advanced pregnancy should be driven, handled and dosed carefully.

Keep out of the reach of children. Store in a cool & dry place, protected from light.
