Dose to be administered and administration route
Oral Use
To ensure a correct dose, 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. 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 |
Administration and duration of treatment
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 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 disorder (vomiting and/or hypersalivation) Neurological signs (e.g. ataxia and muscle tremor) |
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 also the last section of the package leaflet for respective contact details.
