COMPOSITION: 

Praziquantel 50% w/w.

PHARMACEUTICAL FORM: 

Medicated premix.

PROPERTIES:
Praziquantel is a synthetic broad-spectrum anthelmintic, widely used in veterinary and human helminthiasis and for certain indications in captive fish.

Praziquantel works by causing severe spasms and paralysis of the worms' muscles. This paralysis is accompanied - and probably caused - by a rapid Ca2+ influx inside the parasite. Morphological alterations are another early effect of praziquantel. These morphological alterations are accompanied by an increased exposure of antigens at the parasite surface. Phlatyhelminth calcium ion channels are currently the only known target of praziquantel.

INDICATIONS:
Fish: PRAZIVETIN® is indicated for the treatment of ectoparasitic infestations of the gills in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) caused by the monogenean Sparicotyle chrysophrii.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
It should not be administered in cases with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.

UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS:
None observed.

DOSAGE:
Fish: 150 mg/kg bodyweight (bw)/day praziquantel for 3 consecutive days incorporated in the feed.

The 3-day treatment is recommended for maximizing the chance of all the fish in the treated population to take in a uniform dose of the veterinary medicinal product and also allow for the elimination of new parasites that get attached to the fish in days 2 and 3 of the treatment.
