[The technology for manufacturing antiparasitic preparations. 9. The new preparation tizanox and an evaluation of its anti-Hymenolepis activity].

The paper describes a procedure for manufacturing the new anthelminthic Tizanox. It shows it necessary to administer a larger dose of the drug than that of azinox (praziquantel) to treat experimental hymenolepiasis. However, the lower toxicity of Tizanox enhances its chemotherapeutical index.
