For oral administration only.
The recommended dose rates are: 15mg/kg bodyweight febantel, 5 mg/kg
pyrantel (equivalent to 14.4 mg/kg pyrantel embonate) and 5 mg/kg
praziquantel. This is equivalent to 1 TermaWorm XL Tablets for Dogs
175/175/525 mg per 35 kg bodyweight. Dogs of > 35 kg bodyweight should be
given 1 TermaWorm XL Tablets for Dogs 175/175/525 mg plus the appropriate
quantity of TermaWorm Tablets for Dogs 50/50/150 mg equivalent to 1 tablet
per 10 kg bodyweight.
Dogs weighing approx 17.5kg bodyweight should be given ½ TermaWorm XL
Tablets for Dogs 175/175/525 mg.
The tablets can be given directly to the dog or disguised in food. No starvation
is needed before or after treatment.
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.
Do not use simultaneously with piperazine compounds.
Do not use in animals with a known sensitivity to the active ingredients or to
any of the excipients.
Slight and transient digestive tract disorders such as vomiting and/or diarrhoea
may occur in very rare spontaneous reports. Nonspecific signs such as
lethargy, anorexia or hyperactivity can accompany these signs in individual
cases.

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).

Revised: June 2021
AN: 00885/2020
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.
Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelmintic may develop following
frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.
Tapeworm infestation is unlikely in pups less than 6 weeks of age.

Special precautions for use in animals
To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined
as accurately as possible.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the
veterinary medicinal product to animals
In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice and show the package
leaflet to the physician.
In the interests of good hygiene, persons administering the tablets directly to
the dog, or by adding them to the dog’s food, should wash their hands
afterwards.
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.
Do not use simultaneously with piperazine compounds
effects of pyrantel and piperazine may be antagonized.
Concurrent use with other cholinergic compounds can lead to toxicity.
This veterinary medicinal product does not require any special storage
conditions.
Each time an unused half tablet is stored, it should be returned to the open
blister space and inserted back into the outer carton.
