Each 1ml contains:
Imidocarb dipropionate 120 mg (as Imidocarb 85 mg).
Imidocarb dipropionate 120 mg (as Imidocarb 85 mg).
Imidocarb dipropionate is a substituted carbanilide, used as an antiprotozoan treatment for the control of Babesia spp. Little is known about the mode-of-action of imidocarb dipropionate.
It appears that imidocarb acts directly on the parasite, causing alteration in number and size of nuclei and in morphology (vacuolation) of the cytoplasm.
The antiprotozoan activity is derived from the carbanilide acting on glycolyis of the parasite.
This is the result of this class of drugs giving rise to hypoglycaemia in the host.
Babesia as well as many other parasites like trypanosomes depend upon host glucose for aerobic glycolysis.
There is also a selective blocking effect on the replication of the quinetoplastic DNA of the parasite.

It may be possible to alleviate these side effects by treatment with atropine sulphate. While side-effects (salivation, discomfort, muscle tremors, tachycardia, cough, colics) are rare, they do occur and deaths from anaphylactoid reactions have been recorded following product use.
