Description
Albendazole and closantel combined in a drench create a broad-spectrum anthelmintic for livestock, particularly sheep, goats, and cattle. This combination is highly effective against gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms, and adult/immature liver flukes. It provides a powerful, long-acting antiparasitic action and is used to combat resistant worm strains, including Haemonchus contortus.
Key Aspects of Combined Albendazole-Closantel Drench
- Parasite Coverage: The combination targets trematodes (flukes), nematodes (roundworms), and some arthropods. It covers adult, juvenile, and late-immature (6-week stage) liver flukes, as well as blood-sucking parasites.
- Action Mechanism: Albendazole (a benzimidazole) works as a broad-spectrum wormer, while closantel (a salicylanilide) acts as a powerful fasciolicide (fluke killer) that also controls blood-sucking nematodes and larvae.
- Target Species: Mainly used for sheep, goats, cattle, and sometimes camels.
