Dose to be administered and administration route
Dosage and Treatment Schedule
For a single oral adminstration 15 mg/kg bodyweight febantel and 5 mg/kg bodyweight pyrantel (as embonate) corresponding to 14.4 mg/kg pyrantel embonate, equivalent to 1 ml/kg bodyweight.
Through intrauterine and trans-mammary infection, ascarid infestation may occur in dogs at a very early age. For some animals, especially in case of severe infections, elimination of ascarids may be incomplete, and a potential risk of infections to humans cannot be excluded. Where epidemiologically appropriate, it is recommended that treatment should be started at 2 weeks of age and should be performed repeatedly at suitable intervals (for example every 2 weeks), until weaning. Otherwise treatment should be based upon confirmed infection, for example the results of faecal examinations.
Method of Administration
Oral administration. The product may be given directly to the animal or mixed with feed. No special dietary measures are necessary.
Mix the product by inversion of the container before drawing the required dose.
Adverse reactions
In very rare cases mild transient digestive tract signs (e.g., vomiting diarrhoea) may occur.
