Prazitel 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 safe use in the target species:
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 veterinary medicinal product administration. For severely
debilitated or heavily infested cats, use only according to a benefit/risk
assessment by the responsible veterinarian.
