Nitroxinil is primarily used in veterinary medicine as an antiparasitic agent, particularly effective against liver flukes (Fasciola hepatica) in sheep and cattle. It is administered via injection, where it works by disrupting the energy metabolism of the parasites, leading to their death. Its application is crucial in controlling fluke infestations, which can cause significant economic losses in livestock due to reduced productivity, weight loss, and sometimes mortality. Nitroxinil is valued for its broad-spectrum activity and relatively long-lasting effect, making it a reliable choice for farmers and veterinarians in managing parasitic infections in ruminants. Proper dosing and adherence to withdrawal periods are essential to ensure animal safety and compliance with food safety regulations.
