4.1 Therapeutic Uses

Anticestodal Agents; Antifungal Agents; Antiprotozoal Agents; Cathartics

National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings online file (MeSH, 1999)


/SRP/: Dichlorophen is primarily effective against the large tapeworms of man & domestic animals. ... Dichlorophen is effective in clearing a large proportion of infections by Taenia saginata. Taenia solium is also susceptible... Available data suggest it may be useful against Diphyllobothrium latum & Hymenolepis mana infections.

Gilman, A. G., L. S. Goodman, and A. Gilman. (eds.). Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 6th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc. 1980., p. 1014


Dichlorophen is given orally without preliminary fasting or other prior preparation of the patient. Satisfactory results have been obtained by giving 2-3 g every 8 hr for 3 doses (children, 1-2 g). Alternatively, single dose of 6 g (children, 2-4 g) may be given on each of 2 successive days.

4.2 Drug Warning

...Usually nothing recognizable or only partially disintegrated mature segments can be seen in the stool. This presents difficulty in diagnosing cure, &, therefore, careful follow-up of the patient is required.

Gilman, A. G., L. S. Goodman, and A. Gilman. (eds.). Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 6th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc. 1980., p. 1014


...There may be danger of cysticereosis from liberated ova.

4.3 Minimum/Potential Fatal Human Dose

3. 3= MODERATELY TOXIC: Probable oral lethal dose (human) 0.5-5 g/kg, between 1 oz & 1 pint (or 1 lb) for 70 kg person (150 lbs).

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Antifungal Agents

Substances that destroy fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. They differ from FUNGICIDES, INDUSTRIAL because they defend against fungi present in human or animal tissues. (See all compounds classified as Antifungal Agents.)


Anticestodal Agents

Agents used to treat tapeworm infestations in man or animals. (See all compounds classified as Anticestodal Agents.)


Antiprotozoal Agents

Substances that are destructive to protozoans. (See all compounds classified as Antiprotozoal Agents.)


5.2 ATC Code

P - Antiparasitic products, insecticides and repellents

P02 - Anthelmintics

P02D - Anticestodals

P02DX - Other anticestodals

P02DX02 - Dichlorophen


5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Following oral administration to the rat, (14)C-dichlorophen was well absorbed with 78% of the dose excreted in the urine and 15% in the feces in 2 days.

Dixon PAF, Caldwell J; Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 3 (2): 95 (1978)


/Investigators/ dosed female Wistar albino rats (3/group) orally with 50 mg/kg [14C]-dichlorophene dissolved in propane-1,2-diol. One group of rats was bile-duct cannulated 1 hr after oral administration of [14C]-dichlorophene. An average of 95% [14C]-dichlorophene was excreted in the urine and feces 2 days after dosing. Most (78%) of the biocide was recovered in the urine, and 17% was recovered in the feces.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review; International Journal of Toxicology 23 (Suppl 1): 1-27 (2004)


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

/Investigators/ dosed female Wistar albino rats (3/group) orally with 50 mg/kg [14C]-dichlorophene dissolved in propane-1,2-diol. ... The following urinary metabolites were identified: 4% dichlorophene; 17% dichlorophene sulfate; 25% dichlorophene monoglucuronide; and 19% dichlorophene diglucuronide. Bile duct-cannulated rats excreted 36% of the dose of [14C]-dichlorophene 1 to 4 hr after dosing. The intestinal contents and the intestinal wall had 32% and 11% [14C]-dichlorophene, respectively, whereas 2% was found in the urine. Only the monoglucuronide metabolite of [14C]-dichlorophene was found in the bile. The investigators suggested that dichlorophene underwent enterohepatic circulation.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review; International Journal of Toxicology 23 (Suppl 1): 1-27 (2004)


/Investigators examined/ the metabolites of dichlorophene from enterohepatic circulation in female Vom strain rats. Female rats were dosed orally with 50 mg/kg [14C]-dichlorophene (5 uCi/kg) and were bile-duct cannulated 1 hr later. Bile and urine were collected for 3 hr. The bile was then infused into the duodenum of another set of cannulated rats, from which bile and urine were collected. This process was repeated with a third set of rats. Five rats were used in each experiment. The only biliary metabolite was the monoglucuronide in all three experiments. In the urine, dichlorophene sulfate and diglucuronide were the major metabolites. Blood from the hepatic portal vein in rats receiving bile contained free dichlorophene and its monoglucuronide.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review; International Journal of Toxicology 23 (Suppl 1): 1-27 (2004)


/After/ orally administered dichlorophene: (1) dichlorophene is absorbed from the gut, is conjugated to the sulfate and monoglucuronide in the gut wall, and passes to the liver where more of these metabolites can be formed; (2) the diglucuronide is formed in the liver or other organs perfused by systemic circulation; (3) the sulfate and diglucuronide are eliminated from the peripheral circulation via the kidneys; (4) the diglucuronide is too water soluble for biliary excretion; however, most of the monoglucuronide undergoes biliary excretion; (5) residual monoglucuronide is metabolized to sulfate and diglucuronide on subsequent passes through the enterohepatic cycle and these are eliminated via the kidneys.
