During the post-marketing surveillance, transient gastrointestinal signs (vomiting
and diarrhoea); systemic sign (lethargy) and neurological sign (ataxia) have been
observed very rarely.

The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated
reports).
It is recommended that adult dogs should be wormed routinely 2 – 4 times a year.
Since the most common tapeworm of the dog (Dipylidium caninum) is transmitted
by a flea and has a very short pre-patent period, it is important to pay attention to
flea control to reduce the incidence of tapeworm in your pet.
It is important to worm young puppies very regularly for roundworm with a suitable
product. Beaphar Easy One Dose Wormer Tablets for Small Dogs and Puppies can
be used at 12, 16 and 24 weeks of age. An alternative worming product must be
used in younger puppies. Nursing bitches should be treated at the same time and
as frequently as puppies up to 12 weeks of age. Thereafter the adult worming
regime of 2 –4 times a year is recommended.

(i) Special precautions for use in animals
The product should not be administered to puppies less than 12 weeks old
