Potential health effects
The active ingredient, diclazuril, is an anti-coccidial drug. Diclazuril is practically not toxic acutely. Based upon animal studies, diclazuril may cause effects to the liver, lungs, and immune system following repeated exposure. Skin sensitization may occur in sensitive individuals. Calcium carbonate is irritating to the skin and a severe eye irritant. Inhalation exposure to high levels of calcium cabonate dust might produce eye and respiratory tract irritation. Acute oral exposure to calcium salts may produce stomach and intestinal bleeding. Chronic oral exposure may cause irritability, sluggishness, stupor, elevated levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia), alkalosis, kidney impairment, and coma.
