Anthelmin 230 mg / 20 mg Film-coated Tablets for Cats

Tapeworm infestation occurs in cats at the earliest in the third week of life.
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.
Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk
of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy:
- Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an
extended period of time.
- Underdosing, this may be due to underestimation of body weight or
misadministration of the veterinary medicinal product.
