Tetramisole tablets

For Veterinary Use Only

COMPOSITION

Active ingredient: Tetramisole 1000mg/tablet

DESCRIPTION

Green tablets.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS:

Tetramisole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic that acts on both mature and immature stages 

of many important gastrointestinal nematodes and lungworms in cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.

 In susceptible nematodes tetramisole inhibits the neuromuscular transmission of stimuli. 

Immediately after administration, tetramisole causes the neuromuscular paralysis of the 

parasite that the host expels within 24 hours. After repeated dosing, this anthelmintic 

modulates the immune response (immunostimulant effect) i.e. it renews the blocked 

functions of T-lymphocytes.

TARGET SPECIES

Cattle, sheep, goats and pigs

INDICATIONS

Prevention and treatment of parasite infestations caused by mature and immature stages of 

the below-indicated worms in ruminants and pigs.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

For oral administration:

Cattle, pigs, sheep and goats: 1 tablet/66.7-100kg body weight, 10-15mg/kg body weight.

Cattle do not exceed 4.5 tablet.

PRECAUTIONS

Tetramisole tablets may be given to young animals, gravid and lactating females. However, 

use of this medicine should be avoided in animals in advanced gestation, in debilitated and 

dehydrated animals and in those under stress or kept under inadequate conditions. 

Tetramisole tablets may be administered concomitantly with vaccines and antimicrobial 

agents. Concomitant use of tetramisole and anthelmintics that act as nicotinic cholinometics 

(pyrantel) should be avoided. Do not used for horses and camel.

CONTRAINDICATION

Tetramisole tablets are not recommended for use in severely debilitated animals.

SIDE EFFECTS

Side effects of tetramisole are rare at the recommended dosage. Soft faeces or reduced appetite

with insignificant drop in milk yield may also occur. Transient vomiting after dosing is possible in pigs.

DRUG INTERATIONS

For 14 days before and after administration of tetramisole tablets the animals should not be 

treated with organic compounds of phosphorus (insecticides, acaricides, anthelmintics).

OVERDOSE

In individual ruminants, higher doses than recommended may cause head shaking, increased 

salivation and mild muscle tremors, approximately 30 minutes post administration. These signs 

of excessive irritation of the nervous system disappear relatively quickly (antidote - atropine).
