Oral use.
The recommended dose rates are 15 mg/kg bodyweight febantel, 5 mg/kg pyrantel (equivalent to 14.4 mg/kg pyrantel embonate) and 5 mg/kg praziquantel. This is equivalent to 1 tablet per 10 kg bodyweight.
The tablets can be given directly to the dog or disguised in food. No starvation is needed before or after treatment.
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible.
