Supposed to be put in drinking water to control coccidians in cattle. Can be used in dogs but is not indicated for that use.

Anyone try ever it on herps?

COCCIDIOSTATS
Name: Amprolium Name: Amprolium (Commercial names: Corid, Amprol)
Description: Amprolium is a chemical that is very similar to thiamine (vitamin B1) in structure. It is coccidiostatic by substituting for thiamine during the coccidia life cycle.

Usage: As a coccidiostat.

Adverse reactions: None that are common.

Dosage: 1 teaspoon/gallon (20% powder) for 3 - 5 days. 6 - 12

mL/gallon (9% solution) for 3 - 5 days.

Comments: Amprolium is highly effective, can be mixed with other drugs, and doesn't seem to affect performance. It is considered by many to be the drug of choice for coccidiosis. Vitamins should not be used during treatment, but are recommended by many after treatment.
