Usage

Description

Pyrante, also known as pyrantel, is a carboxamidine that is 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine, substituted at position 1 by a methyl group and at position 2 by an (E)-2-(2-thienyl)vinyl group. It is a pharmaceutical compound with anthelmintic properties, making it effective against various intestinal parasites.

Uses

Used in Veterinary Medicine:
Pyrante is used as an anthelmintic for treating infections caused by intestinal nematodes, including threadworms, roundworms, and hookworms, in both domestic animals and livestock. Its effectiveness in combating these parasites has led to its inclusion in the WHO 'Model List of Essential Medicines'.
Used in Human Medicine:
Although primarily used in veterinary medicine, pyrante can also be utilized in human medicine for treating similar parasitic infections when appropriate.
Brand Name:
One of the well-known brand names for pyrante is Banminth, which is produced by Pfizer. It is typically available as the embonate salt form, enhancing its anthelmintic properties and making it a widely used medication for treating parasitic infections.
