Bithionoloxide is an effective cestocide, and also used as a fasciolicide, usually in combination with other compounds because of its poor efficiency against immature flukes. It has also demonstrated efficacy in vitro as an antiprotozoal agent effective against species causing amoebic gill disease in fish. It has been used for veterinary applications but has more recently been superseded by modern anthelmintic drugs.
