Tetramisole Hcl

Tetramisole Hcl

Tetramisole Hcl (Tetramisole Hydrochloride) is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent belonging to the imidazothiazole group, widely used for the treatment of nematode infections in livestock. It is highly effective against a variety of gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworms, including Ascaris, Haemonchus, and Dictyocaulus species. The drug works by stimulating the ganglia of the parasites, inducing sustained muscle contraction and spastic paralysis, which allows the host animal to expel the worms naturally. Tetramisole Hcl is typically available as a water-soluble powder or bolus, offering a cost-effective solution for routine deworming. By reducing parasitic burden, it helps improve nutrient absorption, weight gain, and general health in farm animals.
