Pyran 125 Tablets Indications

Pyran 125 tablets are indicated for the treatment of parasite infestations in dogs, puppies and cats:

While Pyran 125 is not effective in removing whipworms (Trichuris vulpis) from dogs, treatment will result in a significant egg count reduction. Pyran 125 is ineffective in the control of tapeworms.

Contraindications

There are no known contraindications.

Pyran 125 Tablets Caution

The same precautions should be taken with Pyran as with other cholinesterase inhibitors.

Pharmacology

The anthelmintic activity of Pyran 125 has been demonstrated in several laboratory model infections utilizing mice, rats and dogs. These tests showed the compound to be effective for the control of hookworm and roundworm infestations. Pyran 125 is poorly absorbed by the intestinal mucosa so that its activity is confined to the lumen of the bowel. In the dog the peak plasma levels were low, and similarly the tissue levels were low. Less than 15% is excreted via the urine, the major proportion of the dose being excreted in the feces.
