Cazitel 230/20 mg Flavoured Film-coated Tablets for Cats

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.
Parasitic resistance to a certain class of anthelmintics can occur after frequent
and repeated use of an anthelmintic from this class.

Special precautions for use in animals
As the tablets are flavoured, they should be stored in a safe place out of the
reach of animals. Animals in a poor condition or heavily infested, which can be
manifested by symptoms such as diarrhoea, vomiting, presence of parasites in
faeces and vomit, poor hair condition, should be examined by a veterinarian
prior to the product administration. For severely debilitated or heavily infested
cats, use only according to a benefit/risk assessment by the responsible
veterinarian.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals
In the interests of good hygiene, persons administering the tablets directly to
the cat, or by adding them to the cat’s food, should wash their hands
afterwards.
In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and show the
package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:

Other precautions
Echinococcosis represents a hazard for humans. As Echinococcosis is a
notifiable disease to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), specific
guidelines on the treatment and follow-up, and on the safeguard of persons,
need to be obtained from the relevant competent authority.
