ALBASERT 1.5G BOLUS

Product Description

ALBASERT 1.5G BOLUS is a deworming medication for cattle and other ruminants. It contains Albendazole, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic, at a concentration of 1500 mg per bolus. What is Albendazole? Albendazole is a benzimidazole derivative that works by interfering with the energy production of parasites. This leads to their paralysis and eventual death. It is effective against a wide range of internal parasites, including:   Gastrointestinal nematodes: These are roundworms that live in the gastrointestinal tract of animals. Common examples include Haemonchus contortus (barber's pole worm), Trichostrongylus spp., Ostertagia spp., Cooperia spp., Nematodirus spp., and Oesophagostomum spp. These parasites can cause significant production losses in livestock due to blood loss, reduced feed intake, and impaired nutrient absorption.   Tapeworms: These flatworms can also infect the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants. Common examples include Moniezia expansa and Thysaniezia giardi. Tapeworm infections can lead to weight loss and poor growth performance.   Lungworms: These parasites, such as Dictyocaulus viviparus, live in the lungs of animals and can cause coughing, difficulty breathing, and reduced growth.   How ALBASERT 1.5G BOLUS Works: When administered orally, the bolus dissolves in the rumen and releases Albendazole. The drug is then absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the body. It concentrates in the tissues of the parasites, where it disrupts their energy production and causes their death.   Important Considerations: Veterinary Guidance: Always consult with a veterinarian before using ALBASERT 1.5G BOLUS. They will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency of administration based on the type of parasite, the weight of the animal, and other factors. Dosage: The recommended dosage will vary depending on the specific parasite being treated and the weight of the animal. Follow the veterinarian's instructions carefully. Withdrawal Periods: There may be withdrawal periods for meat and milk after treatment with ALBASERT 1.5G BOLUS. Follow the label directions and any additional guidance from your veterinarian to ensure that the meat and milk are safe for human consumption. Storage: Store ALBASERT 1.5G BOLUS in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Safety: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling ALBASERT 1.5G BOLUS. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the medication. Remember: ALBASERT 1.5G BOLUS is a prescription medication.
