This is a dewormer labeled safe to use in dogs and cats. The salt in it is simply the vehicle the drug uses to allow it to be metabolized in the body. Therefore other salts can’t be compared to this one because they too are specially formulated for that particular drug to allow it to be metabolized. Albomar treats for several different intestinal parasites including roundworms, hookworms, and flukes. It is a standard dewormer and is just as effective as others on the market. I hope this helps answer your question. Best wishes and take care.
