Neozidin

If after first application of drug, the temperature of treated animal has not dropped and its general condition has not improved, the same dose of drug can be repeated once more after 24 hours. The treated animals should be left motionless and, additionally, depending on their physiological state, symptomatic medications (i. e. cardiac, laxatives, vitamins, trace elements) should be prescribed. In dogs, before administering Neozidin, parenteral administration of antihistamines is recommended.

As a preventative measure, Neozidin is administered once at a dose of 3.5 mg of diminazene per 1 kg of animal body weight, if animals with clinical symptoms of pyroplasmosis have been found in the herd, or if the herd has been transferred to an area endemic for blood protozoan diseases. If necessary, administration can be repeated after 10-15 days. Before mass treatment with Neozidin, each drug batch is first tested in a small group of animals (5-10 animals). If no complications are revealed within 3 days, the whole livestock may be treated with the drug. When used at the recommended doses, side effects and complications attributed to Neozidin are generally not observed. In some animals, the administration of the drug may be associated with a swelling at the injection site which is quickly dissolved. If the required volume of drug exceeds 10 ml in large animals and 2.5 ml in small animals, injections should be made in several injection sites to avoid any painful reaction.
