Nitroxynil Injection 34%

The main pharmacological action of the active ingredient in this
solution, nitroxynil, is fasciolicidal. The lethal action against
fasciola hepatica has been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo in
laboratory animals, also in sheep and cattle. The mechanism of
action is due to uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. It is
also active against triclabendazole resistant F. hepatica.
