Description: The main pharmacological action of the active ingredient in Fluconix-340, nitroxinil, is fasciolicidal. The lethal action  against Fasciola hepatica has been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo in laboratory animals, and in sheep and cattle.  The mechanism of action is due to uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. It is also active against triclabendazoleresistant F. hepatica. 

Indications: it is indicated for the treatment of fascioliasis (infestations of mature and immature Fasciola hepatica)  in cattle and sheep. It is also effective, at the recommended dose rate, against adult and larval infestations  of Haemonchus contortus in cattle and sheep and Haemonchus placei, Oesophagostomum radiatum and  Bunostomum phlebotomum in cattle. 

Side effects: Small swellings are occasionally observed at the injection site in cattle. These can be avoided by injecting the dose  in two separate sites and massaging well to disperse the solution. No systemic ill effects are to be expected when  animals (including pregnant cows and ewes) are treated at normal dosage.
