Isometamidium chloride(Cat No.:I029575) is an antiprotozoal agent primarily used in veterinary medicine. It is effective against trypanosomes, which are parasites that cause diseases such as African animal trypanosomiasis (also known as nagana) in livestock. Isometamidium chloride works by inhibiting the growth and replication of trypanosomes, thereby controlling the infection. Due to its specific activity against trypanosomes, it is commonly used to treat and prevent trypanosome infections in animals, particularly in areas where these diseases are prevalent, helping to protect livestock health and productivity.
