Imidocarb
別名: Imizol
> **Important**: This medication is administered exclusively by your veterinarian via injection. - **Purpose**: Imidocarb is used to treat serious, tick-borne blood parasite infections such as Babesia or Cytauxzoon. - **What to Expect**: The injection can be quite painful. Shortly after receiving the medication, your pet may experience drooling, a runny nose, panting, or brief episodes of vomiting. These are known, common reactions and usually pass quickly. - **Precautions**: Please inform your veterinarian immediately if your pet has recently been exposed to any flea/tick dips, pesticides, or is taking other medications (especially those affecting the nervous system), as these can increase the risk of severe side effects.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
