Oral use.
The recommended dose is 20 mg/kg bodyweight pyrantel (equivalent to 57.5 mg/kg pyrantel embonate) and 5 mg/kg praziquantel. This is equivalent to 1 tablet per 4 kg bodyweight.
The tablets should be given directly to the cat but if necessary can be disguised in food.
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible.
Dosage table (guide):
Bodyweight (kg) | Tablets |
1.0 - 2.0 | ½ |
2.1 - 4.0 | 1 |
4.1 - 6.0 | 1 ½ |
6.1 - 8.0 | 2 |
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.
