Nitrodan is an anthelmintic drug. Nitrodan was effective when administered in feed against Hymenolepis nana and Syphacia obvelata infections in mice, Ascaridia galli infections in chickens, and Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, and Uncinaria stenocephala infections in dogs. This drug was not effective against Aspiculuris tetraptera, Nematospiroides dubius, and Nippostrongylus muris in mice or Toxascaris leonina in dogs. Long-term continuous feeding of 230 ppm nitrodan should provide an easy and efficient means of reducing infections of A. galli in chickens, and T. canis, A. caninum, and U. stenocephala in dogs, while minimizing opportunities for reexposure.

In Vivo Use Guide

Nitrodan fed for 21 days at levels of 250 to 1,000 ppm produced significant destrobilization of H. nana in mice but removed few of the scolices. Levels of 500 to 1,000 ppm nitrodan fed for 21 days were 86 to 90% effective in reducing the numbers of adult and immature S. obvelata in mice. In dogs, nitrodan exhibited activity against T. canis, A. caninum, and U. stenocephala by reducing egg production prior to promoting gradual elimination of the worms. Nitrodan levels of 100 to 500 ppm rapidly reduced T. canis egg production and worm burdens, and produced efficient, but not complete, removal of both hookworm species in 4 to 8 weeks
