Kittens weighing less than 1 kg should not be treated with the veterinary medicinal product, because correct dosing of such cats may not be feasible.
Route of administration:
The tablets are to be given directly into the mouth but can be administered in a small amount of food, if necessary.
Note:
In ascarid infestation, especially in kittens, complete elimination cannot be expected, so a risk of infection for humans can persist. Repeat treatments should therefore be carried out with a suitable roundworm veterinary medicinal product at 14 day intervals until 2-3 weeks after weaning.
If signs of disease persist or appear, consult a veterinary surgeon.
Adverse reactions

|
Very rare (<1 animal / 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports): |
Digestive tract disorders (e.g. hypersalivation and/or vomiting)* Neurological disorders (e.g. ataxia)* |
*Mild and transient.
Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a veterinary medicinal product.
Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to either the marketing authorisation holder or the national competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for respective contact details.
