Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including, https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=875c461a-e0db-4478-9006-7bd1d006ed3a

Diclazuril is a main component of veterinary drugs used for the treatment of coccidiosis (chickens, turkeys, rabbits, etc) and equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (horses). When used for the treatment of coccidiosis, it acts by causing the degeneration of schizonts and gamonts. While in the animals affected by protozoal myeloencephalitis the drug is believed to inhibit merozoite production. In vivo experiments on horses have shown that the drug may cross the blood brain barrier.
