Pigs

Baycox 5% (Piglet) Solution ORAL (toltrazuril)

Toltrazuril, which is part of the drug, has a wide spectrum of anti-coccidal action, is effective against Isospora suis, Eimeria arloingi, Eimeria scabra, Eimeria guevarai, Eimeria bovis, Eimeria zuernii, Eimeria alabamensis and other types of coccidia that parasitize pigs and cattle at the stages of their intracellular development. By blocking respiratory enzymes, toltrazuril has a damaging effect on the mitochondria and the processes of nuclear division of coccidia, disrupting the formation of macrogammetocytes. After oral administration of Baicox, 5% toltrazuril is slowly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and has a coccidivating effect on the mucous membrane and submucosal layer. It is partially metabolized in the body by sulfoxidation and hydroxylation to form sulfide and sulfone derivatives. Toltrazuril is excreted from the body mainly in unchanged form (70%), but also as metabolites in the feces and partially in the urine.
