roundworms and tapeworms:
Roundworms: Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina,

Revised: December 2021
AN: 01346/2021
Dosage
The recommended dose is: 20 mg/kg pyrantel (57.5 mg/kg pyrantel embonate)
and 5 mg/kg praziquantel. This is equivalent to 1 tablet per 4 kg bodyweight.
Body weighttablets1.0 - 2.0 kg½ 2.1 - 4.0 kg14.1 - 6.0 kg1 ½ 6.1 - 8.0 kg2
Administration and duration of treatment
Single oral administration. The tablet should be given directly to the cat, but if
necessary can be disguised in food.
In ascarid infestation, especially in kittens, complete elimination cannot be
expected, so a risk of infection for humans can persist. Repeat treatments
should, therefore, be carried out with a suitable roundworm product at 14 day
intervals until 2-3 weeks after weaning.
Do not use simultaneously with piperazine compounds.
Do not use in kittens less than 6 weeks of age.
Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to the active substances or
to any of the excipients.
Mild and transient digestive tract disorders such as hypersalivation and/or
vomiting and mild and transient neurological disorders such as ataxia may
occur in very rare cases.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reaction(s)
during the course of one treatment)
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated
reports)
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.
Parasitic resistance to a certain class of anthelmintics can occur after frequent
and repeated use of an anthelmintic from this class.

Revised: December 2021
AN: 01346/2021

Special precautions for use in animals
Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelminthic may develop
following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.
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 and show the package
leaflet to the physician.
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 (e. g. experts or
institutes of parasitology). If the cat has visited areas where Echinococcus spp.
are prevalent, a veterinarian should be consulted.
Do not use simultaneously with piperazine compounds.
This veterinary medicinal product does not require any special storage
conditions
