Liquid of light yellow color, transparent, sterile.
Composition :
1 ml of the drug contains:
Imidocarb Dipropionate – 120 mg
Pharmacological properties :
Imidocarb dipropionate, a derivative of Icarbanilide, provides a broad spectrum of antiprotozoal action against pyroplasmidosis pathogens in mono- or mixed infestations – Babesia bovis, B. bigemina, B. colchis (Francaiella colchica), B. divergens, B. ovis, B. motasi, B. caballi, B. eqi (Nuttallia equi), B. canis, B. gibsonii, B. vogeli, Theileria annulata, T. sergenti, T. mutans, T. orientalis, T. ovis, T. recondita, T. hirci, T. tarandirangiferis, rickettsiae of the genera Anaplasma marginale, A. centrale, A. ovis, A. phagocytophilum, and the genera Ehrlichia canis, E. chaffeensis.
Mechanism of antiprotozoal action is based on inhibition of aerobic glucose metabolism and DNA synthesis in pyroplasmids, which causes their further death.
After parenteral administration the drug is quickly absorbed and reaches maximum concentration in blood after 1-2 hours, therapeutic concentration is maintained for 4-6 weeks.
It is metabolized to a small extent, accumulates mainly in kidneys and liver, is eliminated from the body mainly with feces, to a lesser extent with urine.
Imidokarba dipropionate refers to moderately hazardous substances according to the degree of impact on the body.

The protective effect of the drug lasts for 14-21 days after its administration.
Precautions :
Recommended doses do not cause local irritation, does not exhibit cumulative, embryotoxic and mutagenic properties.
However, in case of mass death of parasites and destruction of red blood cells in animals, intoxication is possible. In such cases intensive therapy with infusion agents, hepatoprotectors, symptomatic and antihistamines is required.
To avoid painful reaction, do not inject more than 10 ml of the drug in one place in large animals, more than 2 ml in small ones.
In case of clinical signs of babesiosis before drug administration it is advisable to use antihistamines.
