DESCRIPTION
TRYPANOFORT is a highly effective trypanocidal treatment containing Isometamidium Chloride, designed for both curative and prolonged preventive action against a wide range of Trypanosoma species. It is formulated for use in a 2% aqueous solution, ideally prepared fresh at the time of administration.
INDICATIONS:
INDICATIONS TRYPANOFORT is indicated for the treatment and prevention of trypanosomiasis caused by:
- T. congolense and T. vivax in cattle, sheep, goats, and horses.
- T. brucei and T. evansi in cattle, buffaloes, camels, horses, and dogs.
KEY BENEFITS
- Rapid curative action.
- Prolonged preventive efficacy lasting 2 to 4 months, depending on the disease challenge level.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
- Prepare a 2% solution by dissolving 250 mg of Isometamidium Chloride in 12.5 mL of sterile water (or boiled and cooled/distilled water when sterile water is not available).
- Dosage: Administer 0.5-1 mg/kg body weight via intramuscular (IM) Injection, depending on species.
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
- Always use sterile syringes and needles.
- For doses exceeding 15 mL, split the total volume and inject at two different sites to reduce risk of tissue irritation.
- When using intravenous injection, administer slowly and avoid blood contamination in the syringe.
- Prepare the solution immediately before use. If necessary, previously prepared solutions may be used if stored in sealed containers at +2°C to +15°C for no longer than 24-48 hours.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- Ensure the entire dose is injected into the muscle before withdrawing the needle to avoid leakage into subcutaneous tissue.
- Avoid damaging critical structures (e.g., sciatic nerve, vertebral column) during deep IM injection.
- Do not repeat treatment within one month of a previous administration.
- Follow strict aseptic preparation and injection techniques.
PRECAUTIONS
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- In the event of accidental human ingestion, induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention.
- At slaughter, excise and discard any lesions at the injection site.
