Drontal Oral Suspension for Puppies Febantel 15 mg/ml / Pyrantel 5 mg/ml

Underdosing could result in ineffective use and may favour resistance development
To ensure administration of the correct dose, body weight should be determined as
accurately as possible.
Ascarid roundworm infestation may occur in dogs at a very young age due to infection
whilst within the womb, or via the mother’s milk. For some animals, especially in case
of severe infections, elimination of ascarids may be incomplete, and a potential risk of
infections to humans cannot be excluded. Where epidemiologically appropriate, it is
recommended that treatment should be started at 2 weeks of age and should be
performed repeatedly at suitable intervals (for example every 2 weeks), until weaning.
Otherwise treatment should be based upon confirmed infection, for example the
results of faecal examinations.
The need for and frequency of re-treatment(s) should be based on professional advice
(from a veterinarian or suitably qualified professional) and should take into account the
local epidemiological situation and the animal’s lifestyle.
Method of Administration
Single Oral administration.
The product may be given directly to the animal or mixed with feed using the syringe
supplied with the pack. No special dietary measures are necessary; access to normal
diet does not need to be limited before or after treatment.
1. Measure the animal’s bodyweight accurately to ensure correct dosage.
2. Mix the product by gently turning the container upside down and then back upright
a few times.
3. Remove the bottle cap and place the tip of the syringe provided into the neck of
the bottle. Turn the bottle upside down and then pull the syringe plunger out
allowing the liquid to flow into the syringe chamber. Continue pulling the plunger
out until the liquid reaches the desired dosage line (1ml suspension per kilogram
of bodyweight).
4. Turn the bottle upright and carefully separate the syringe from the bottle.
5. Replace the bottle top.
6. The measured amount of product may then be given to the animal. To do this,
push the plunger to empty the full contents of the syringe directly into the corner of
the mouth of the animal, or mix with food and ensure the full dose is ingested.
