Description
Marquis Antiprotozoal Oral for Horses is the first FDA approved treatment for equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM). Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a common neurologic disease of horses living in the Americas. EPM is caused by the protozoa Sarcocystis neurona and leads to inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, resulting in various neurological deficits in horses such as abnormal gait, stumbling, falling and an inability to rise. The definitive host of EPM is the opossum, which sheds infective sporocysts of S. neurona that infect horses.
Marquis is an antiprotozoal oral paste approved by the FDA for the treatment of horses with EPM. It contains the active ingredient ponazuril which crosses the blood/brain barrier to reach the central nervous system. Once it has reached the central nervous system, ponazuril works to kill S. neurona to prevent the parasite from causing further damage.
Each mL of sterile aqueous solution contains:
