Difference?

Is there any difference between Panacur and Lapizole?, can they be interchanged?
 
They're exactly the same, so if you did panacur one day you could continue with lapizole the next day. Of course the dosages might be slightly different depending on the concentration of the active ingrediant.
 
:wave: As Timb0h says, they are both the same. Here is the datasheet info:

Lapizole: http://www.noahcompendium.co.uk/Genitrix_Ltd/Lapizole/-43598.html

Panacur: http://www.noahcompendium.co.uk/Int...ur_Rabbit___18_75_ACU-_Oral_Paste/-42084.html

Looking at these, they both contain exactly the same active ingredient and all that seems to differ from a pharmaceutical point of view is the concentration in a ml of product so you just need to read the packet and make sure you're giving the right dose per kg.

I guess it's better to stick to the same one if you can though but I don't see any reason why you can't swap as long as you get the dosage right.
