A total of 134 asymptomatic cases of established Fasciola infection were treated: 68 individuals received a single dose of 10 mg/kg and 66 individuals received 2 doses of 10 mg/kg on 2 consecutive days. Cure was assessed 5 weeks after treatment and 79.4% of the first group and 93.9% of the second group were cured. The drug was well tolerated; no serious side-effects were noted. One patient developed biochemical cholestasis the third day after treatment, but her enzyme profiles returned to normal after 2 months.
