Carbarsone is an arsenic-based antiprotozoal drug which has been used in the treatment of amebiasis and other infections.[1][2][3] It was available for use in the United States as a drug for amebiasis as late as 1991. Thereafter, it remained available as an additive for turkey feed for improving weight and controlling Blackhead disease.[4][5]
