Anyone ever heard of or used AVIO-COXIWORM TABLETS?

Ahhhhh. At the risk of repeating myself, there are no withdrawals for chickens or any other food animals established for praziquantel in the US because of the bad residue clearance. And that is not for lack of trying by drug companies. The FDA will not approve it because of the residues. It's not legal for use in food animals. Not sure how long you'd have to wait, but long. I would not use it, and do not recommend using it for any food animal that you plan to eat eggs or meat from. If you need to treat for tapes, I'd recommend fenbendazole. All of this being said, it is given to people for tapeworm infections.

Pyrantel is short-acting and widely used in chickens but not for debilitated birds, I would toss eggs for 2 weeks.

Toltrazuril has a pretty long half-life and I would not give it to chickens because you can get amprolium and that works fine, and there's no withdrawal established for toltrazuril yet in the US. I suspect there will be at some point in the near future, but why gamble with your food when there's a safe alternative?

So...I vote no.

Are there publicly available studies you could link that outline the residues?

Disclaimer, I am not proposing that anyone use this, it was recommended in another forum so thought I'd delve for some facts(thank you @Sue Gremlin)

Some strains of coccidiosis are resistant to amprolium, and some are resistant to sulfa. So what should one do when amprolium and sulfa aren't working? Me, I use toltrazuril (Baycox).

Wondering about withdrawal and residual affect on humans.
Pyrantel Pamoate, Praziquantel and Toltrazuril.

So I just got done looking for information on this and I could not find anything that says how much of each medication is in it. The directions say to give one pill to a pigeon, but I am pretty sure that toltrazuril is supposed to be given 2-3 days, not just one day. So if someone wanted to treat a 5 pound hen, how many tablets would they need to use, how many days should it be given, and should it be given again in 10 days?

I would also like to seem some studies that show the effectiveness of pyrantel pamoate in treating cecal worms and capillary worms.

So for me, this is not a product I would use, nor would I recommend it.
