Summary

A drug for anthelminthic treatment of pond fish (carp, European carp and their hybrids, crucian carp) with Philometroides lusiana infection. Antihelminthic against nematode infection.

Description

Timtetrazole (Timtetrazolum), (tetramizole, nilverm) (D, L - 2-3-5-6-tetrahydro-6-phenyl-imidazo-(2,1-B)-thiazole-hydrochloride - granular antihelmintic of nematode action spectrum containing 20% of the active substance (ADV) tetramizole hydrochloride and bulking agents (lactose, cattle chalk, precipitated chalk, or other inert materials).
The drug consists of white granules with faint characteristic smell. It is well disintegrated in the wet feed. Timtetrazole is stable during three years storage (factory packaging, dark, dry place at temperatures from +4 to +25 ° C).
Active substance - tetramizole hydrochloride – disturbs the nematode energy metabolism and inhibits the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate acid, inhibits the activity of fumarate and succinate dehydrogenase.
Timtetrazole is a low-toxic anthelminthic, it is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, does not have teratogenic, embryotoxic and allergenic properties.
Timtetrazole is used as therapeutic pellets at a dose of 15 mg ADV / kg of fish (4kg of timtetrazole per 1 ton of combined feed).
Therapeutic pellets with timtetrazole are used at a rate of 5% from weight of fish by the method group feeding during two consecutive days. Preimaginal anthelminthic treatment is conducted in the summer (III ten-day period of July - I ten-day period of August) with water temperature no less than 16-18 ° C. Side effects of applying timtetrazole in such doses in pond fish were not found.
