Amprolium

• Class: Anticoccidial
• Action: It competitively inhibits thiamine utilization by the parasite. Prolonged high dosages can cause thiamine deficiency in the host. It reportedly acts primarily upon the first generation schizont in the cells of the intestinal wall, preventing differentiation of the merozoites. It may also suppress the sexual stages and sporulation of the oocysts.
• Indications: Caecal and intestinal coccidiosis
• Dosage:

               Cattle: 

                          Treatment: 10 mg/kg PO for 5 days;
