Indications

For the treatment of mixed infections caused by the following gastrointestinal roundworms and tapeworms:

Roundworms: Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina.

Tapeworms: Dipylidium caninum, Taenia taeniaeformis, Echinococcus multilocularis.

Dose to be administered and administration route

Oral use.

To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.

Dosage

The recommended dose is: 20 mg/kg pyrantel (57.5 mg/kg pyrantel embonate) and 5 mg/kg praziquantel in a single administration. This is equivalent to 1 tablet per 4 kg bodyweight.

Body weight	Tablets
1.0 - 2.0 kg.	½
2.1 - 4.0 kg.	1
4.1 - 6.0 kg.	1 ½
6.1 - 8.0 kg.	2

The tablet should be given directly to the cat, but if necessary, can be disguised in food. 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

Cats.

Very rare

(<1 animal / 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports):

Digestive tract disorders ( e.g., vomiting and/or hypersalivation).

Neurological disorders (e.g., ataxia and muscle tremors).

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 its local representative or the national competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for respective contact details.
