Tag: Coccidia

Coccidiosis is a common intestinal infection, particularly in young animals, with some studies showing puppies having high infection rates [1.2.6]. Many ask, 'What dewormer gets rid of coccidia?' The crucial answer is that standard dewormers are ineffective against this parasite [1.3.1].

Ponazuril is often confused with traditional dewormers, but it is actually a powerful anti-protozoal medication. As a result, it does not treat worms at all but is highly effective against single-celled parasitic organisms like Coccidia and *Sarcocystis neurona*.

Millions of pets are affected by intestinal parasites annually, but not all parasites respond to the same medication. A common question from owners is: **Does Panacur treat coccidia?** The answer is that Panacur is ineffective against this protozoan infection and different medications are required for proper treatment.

Affecting tens of thousands of horses since its FDA approval in 2001, Marquis® (ponazuril) has a proven track record for treating equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM). Beyond its primary use, **what is ponazuril used to treat** in other species, and how does it work?.
