Mechanism of action
Thiamine analog that competitively inhibits thiamine uptake by coccidia, interfering with carbohydrate metabolism of the parasite.
Side effects & warnings
Prolonged use may cause thiamine deficiency (polioencephalomalacia). Primarily coccidiostatic, not coccidiocidal. Ensure adequate thiamine intake.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for rabbit may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.

Amprolium dosing in other species
Why a species-specific page? Amprolium pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in rabbit — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
