Effectiveness of the Drug "Helminthal Mini Syrup" in Coccidioses and Nematodoses of Carnivores

Abstract

This article describes the results of studies of the therapeutic efficacy of the drug "Helminthal Mini Syrup" in the treatment of coccidioses and nematodoses of dogs and cats. The drug contains a new combination of active ingredients, toltrazuril and moxidectin, providing a wide range of antiparasitic action against pathogens of coccidioses and intestinal nematodoses. The studies were conducted from February to August 2019 in veterinary clinics of the city of Moscow and the Moscow Region on dogs and cats naturally infested with coccidia (Eimeria spp., Isospora spp., Cystoisospora spp.), intestinal nematodes (Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati (mystax), Toxascaris leonina, Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Trichuris vulpis), and in mixed invasions. The drug was used individually orally as a single dose of 0.5 ml per 1 kg of animal weight, which corresponds to 9 mg of toltrazuril and 0.3 mg of moxidectin. 10–14 days after the use of the drug, satisfactory general condition, absence of clinical manifestations of invasions were noted, in a laboratory test of feces – helminth eggs and protozoan oocysts were absent, which confirms the high therapeutic efficacy in coccidioses, intestinal nematodoses and mixed intestinal parasitoses of dogs and cats.
