Indication

Piper-Vet® is used in infestations produced by nematode sensitive to piperazine, namely Ascaris, Oxyuris, some Strongyloides & Trichuris. The high doses are required to disinfect in case of poliparasitism makes this product the anthelmintic of selection due to its low toxicity. It is safely active against all adult forms as well as against some evolutive stages of worms where it is found to be a drug of first choice.

Mode of Action

When exposed to Piperazine, worms suffer from hyperpolarization of their muscles which produces a reversible paralysis that prevents them from maintaining their position in the host’s gut, and they are voided with the feces.
