Diminal is a potent veterinary anti-protozoal and anti-pyretic medication used to treat blood parasite infections in livestock and domestic animals.
It is primarily formulated as a powder or granule for reconstitution, combining Diminazene Aceturate (to kill parasites) and Phenazone/Antipyrine (to reduce fever and pain).
Active Ingredients: Diminazene Diaceturate (typically ~445 mg/g) and Phenazone / Antipyrine (typically ~555 mg/g).
Indications:
It is a highly effective treatment for the following diseases:
- Trypanosomiasis: Effectively treats nagana and other trypanosome infections caused by Trypanosoma congolense, Trypanosoma vivax, and Trypanosoma brucei.
- Babesiosis: Eliminates tick-borne blood parasites (piroplasms) such as Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina addressing issues like redwater fever.
- Theileriosis: Manages Theileria protozoan infections in cattle and domestic animals.
Benefits:
- Rapid Parasite Clearance: Diminazene disrupts the DNA synthesis of parasites, immobilizing and clearing them from the bloodstream quickly.
- Fever & Pain Relief: The inclusion of Phenazone helps reduce the high fevers, inflammation, and muscle pain that usually accompany acute protozoan infections in livestock.
Dosage & Withdrawal:
Dosage must be calculated exactly based on the body weight of the animal to avoid toxicity. Dairy and meat withdrawal periods must be strictly observed to prevent residue in food products.
