Diaverdin

Diaverdin is an anti-coccidial drug designed to combat infections caused by coccidian parasites. It works by interfering with the life cycle of coccidia, preventing their reproduction and growth.

  • Diaverdin is indicated for the treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in animals, including poultry, cattle, and other species.
  • It is effective against various species of coccidia, providing both therapeutic and prophylactic benefits.
  • Veterinarians may prescribe Diaverdin to control coccidial infections in livestock and companion animals.
  • Species: Poultry, Cattle, and Other Animals
  • Dosage: The recommended dosage is based on the species, weight, and severity of the coccidial infection.
  • Administration: Administer orally or as directed by a veterinarian. Dosage regimens may vary depending on the specific coccidia species and the severity of the infection.

The following side effects may occur:

  • Transient gastrointestinal disturbances, including mild diarrhea.
  • Decreased feed intake immediately following administration.
  • Overdosage:
    • Avoid overdose, as it may lead to increased risk of adverse reactions.
    • Carefully follow recommended dosages based on species and weight.
  • Pregnancy and Lactation:
    • Use with caution in pregnant or lactating animals; consult with a veterinarian.
    • Evaluate the risk-benefit ratio before administering to breeding animals.
  • Species Sensitivity:
    • Some species may be more sensitive to Diaverdin; adjust dosages accordingly.
    • Monitor closely for adverse reactions, especially in smaller or younger animals.
