Do not use for treatment of dogs weighing less than 17.5 kg (i.e. <17.5 kg). To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
Administration
The chewable tablets can be given directly to the dog or disguised in food. No starvation is needed before or after treatment.
Due to a lipid-coating of praziquantel and added flavour, the chewable tablets are taken by most dogs voluntarily.
Duration of Treatment
A single dose shall be used. If there is a risk for re-infestation, the advice of a veterinarian should be sought regarding the need for and the frequency of repeat administration.
Adverse reactions
In very rare cases (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports) transient, mild gastrointestinal signs (e.g. vomiting) may occur.
