Rafoxanide, Vetranal, is primarily used in veterinary medicine as an anthelmintic agent. It is effective against parasitic worms, particularly liver flukes, which infest livestock such as sheep and cattle. The compound works by disrupting the energy metabolism of the parasites, leading to their paralysis and eventual death. This helps in maintaining the health and productivity of the animals, preventing economic losses in the agricultural sector. Additionally, Rafoxanide is sometimes used in combination with other antiparasitic drugs to enhance its efficacy and broaden its spectrum of activity against different types of helminths. Its application is crucial in regions where liver fluke infestations are prevalent, ensuring the well-being of livestock and the safety of meat and dairy products for human consumption.
