Pharmacological properties

ATC vet QP51 - antiprotozoals. QP51AH01 - salinomycin.

Salinomycin is an eimeriostatic of the ionophore group, effective against eimeriae (E. acervulina, E. tenella, E. brunetti, E. maxima, E. necatrix, E. mivati, E. meleagridis, E. meleagrimitis, E. bovis) at the stages of the first generation sporozoites, trophozoites and schizoites. The drug inhibits transport of Na+ and К+ monovalent ions through cell membrane of a single-cell parasite, resulting in its death. Salinomycin is also effective against gram-positive (Clostridium spp.) and gram-negative microorganisms (Serpulina (Treponema) hyodysenteriae). It improves weight gain ratio and feed conversion ratio in ruminants and swine.
