Composition

Each 1 g contains:

  • Tetramisole hydrochloride – 100 mg
  • Excipients – q.s. to 1 g

Pharmaceutical Form

Water-soluble powder

Pharmacological Properties

Tetramisole is an effective anthelmintic that induces paralysis in nematodes through dual mechanisms:

  1. Continuous stimulation of the parasite’s nervous system (cholinomimetic effect), leading to spastic paralysis.
  2. Inhibition of fumarate reductase, disrupting energy metabolism essential for parasite survival.

These combined actions result in rapid and effective expulsion of gastrointestinal and pulmonary nematodes.

Target Species

Cattle, camels, sheep, goats, buffaloes, and poultry

Indications for Use

Dadmisole 10% Powder is indicated for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal and respiratory nematode infections, including:

  • In poultry: Capillaria, Ascaridia, and Heterakis spp.

Its broad-spectrum efficacy makes it ideal for integrated parasite control programs in both livestock and poultry.
