Canine leishmaniasis - NO MORE ABUSE

Addressed to: Merial Laboratories
Leishmaniosis is a disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, and can affect both dogs and humans.
The clinical manifestations of the disease range from cutaneous ulcers that heal spontaneously to fatal forms that seriously affect the liver and spleen causing the death of the patient.
It is a disease that is transmitted by a vector such as the mosquito Flebotomo, being dogs and hares, among others, its reservoir.
Once the disease is contracted, there are medications that prevent the progress of the disease in both humans and dogs.
The ACTIVE PRINCIPLE used in both cases is the pentavalent antimony marketed under the name of GLUCANTIME (LAB.MERIAL) for dogs and HUMAN GLUCANTIME (LAB. SANIFI) for humans.
And here comes the reason for our protest: HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT BEING THE SAME ACTIVE PRINCIPLE, DOG DRUGS ARE 6 TIMES MORE?
The problem of canine Leishmaniosis is proliferating in many regions of Spain becoming endemic.
We must remember that since 2017 there is a “zero sacrifice” for canines, since sending them to death due to a disease that can become chronic thanks to medication is a discarded option.
We want to denounce the DISMISSED ANIMO OF PROFIT OF THE MERIAL LABORATORY.
WE DEMAND MERIAL: “EQUAL ACTIVE PRINCIPLE, EQUAL PRICE”.
If you agree, sign.
