Clinical information

Tolracol 50 mg/ml Oral Suspension for Pigs, Cattle and Sheep — SPC Details

Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 27 Mar 2026.

AN: 01853/2025 & 01854/2025
Cattle:
For the prevention of clinical signs of coccidiosis and reduction of oocyst shedding in
housed calves replacing cows producing milk for human consumption (dairy cows)
on farms with a confirmed history of coccidiosis caused by or
zuernii.
Sheep:
For the prevention of clinical signs of coccidiosis and reduction of oocyst shedding in
lambs on farms with a confirmed history of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria crandallis
and Eimeria ovinoidalis.

The oral suspension must be shaken before use.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as
possible.
To obtain maximum benefit, animals should be treated before the expected onset of
clinical signs, i.e. in the prepatent period.
Pigs:
Individual animal treatment.
Each piglet should be treated on day 3 to 5 of life with a single oral dose of 20 mg
toltrazuril per kg body weight corresponding to 0.4 ml oral suspension per kg body
weight.
Due to the small volumes required to treat individual piglets, use of dosing equipment
with a dose accuracy of 0.1 ml is recommended.
Cattle:
Each animal should be treated with a single oral dose of 15 mg toltrazuril/kg body
weight corresponding to 3.0 ml oral suspension per 10 kg body weight.
AN: 01853/2025 & 01854/2025
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be
grouped according to their body weight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid
under- or over-dosing.
Sheep:
Each animal should be treated with a single oral dose of 20 mg toltrazuril/kg body
weight corresponding to 0.4 ml oral suspension per kg body weight.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be
grouped according to their body weight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid
under- or over-dosing.

Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the
excipients.
Cattle (for environmental reasons):
Do not use in calves weighing more than 80 kg bodyweight.
Do not use in veal or beef calves.
For more details see sections 3.5 (Special precautions for the protection of the
environment) and section 4 (Environmental properties).

None known.
Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for
respective contact details.

As with any antiparasiticide, frequent and repeated use of antiprotozoals from the
same class may lead to the development of resistance.
It is recommended to treat all animals in a pen. Hygienic measures may reduce the
risk of coccidiosis. It is therefore, recommended to improve concomitantly the
hygienic conditions in the concerned facility, particularly with regard to dryness and
cleanliness. To obtain maximum benefit, animals should be treated before the
expected onset of clinical signs, i.e. in the prepatent period. Treatment during an
outbreak will be of limited value for the individual animal, because of damage to the
small intestine having already occurred. To alter the course of an established clinical
coccidial infection, in individual animals already showing signs of diarrhoea,
additional supportive therapy may be required.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Not applicable.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:

AN: 01853/2025 & 01854/2025
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
In order to prevent any adverse effects on plants and possible contamination of
groundwater, manure from treated calves must be not be spread onto land without
dilution with manure from untreated cattle. Manure from treated calves must be
diluted with at least 3 times the weight of manure from untreated cattle before it can
be spread onto land.
Lambs kept throughout the whole life span indoors under an intensive rearing system
must not be treated beyond the age of 6 weeks or body weight of more than 20 kg at
treatment. Manure from treated animals should only be applied to the same piece of
land every third year.
