Pharmacological Properties

Piperazine citrate is a well-established anthelmintic that acts as a neuromuscular blocking agent in nematodes, causing flaccid paralysis and allowing the worms to be expelled from the gastrointestinal tract.
It is effective against a wide range of Ascarid parasites in both poultry and horses. Due to its safety profile, it is suitable for use in young and pregnant animals.
