It was the first FDA-approved alfalfa-based pelleted formulation containing diclazuril, an antiprotozoal compound active against organisms in the phylum Apicomplexa. Because it's fed as a top-dress in the horse's daily grain ration rather than administered as a paste or oral suspension, Protazil makes a 28-day treatment course simpler to manage — no syringes, no dosing gun, no fight at feeding time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eActive ingredient: 1.56% diclazuril\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAlfalfa-based pellet, top-dressed on the horse's regular grain ration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInert ingredients include dehydrated alfalfa meal, wheat middlings, cane molasses, and propionic acid (preservative)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSupplied in a 2.4-lb (1.1-kg) bucket with a marked measuring scoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOne 2.4-lb bucket treats a 1,274-lb horse for the full 28 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFor use in horses only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePrescription (Rx) — requires a valid veterinary prescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe labeled dose is 1 mg diclazuril per kg (0.45 mg\/lb) of body weight, fed once daily for 28 consecutive days.
