Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one common type of tapeworm Dipylidium caninum. Tapeworm infestation is certain to reoccur unless control of intermediate hosts such as fleas, mice, etc. is undertaken.
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 in cats. Local epidemiological information and the living conditions of the cat should be taken into account. It is also important to remove sources of possible re-infection such as fleas and mice.
Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelmintic may develop following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.
After doses higher than 5 times the recommended dose, signs of intolerance such as vomiting have been observed.
