Veloxa XL Chewable Tablets for Dogs

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.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Veloxa Chewable Tablets for smaller dogs is recommended for use in dogs less than 17.5
kg bodyweight.
Tapeworm infestation is unlikely in pups less than 6 weeks of age.
The tablets are flavoured. In order to avoid any accidental ingestion, store tablets out of
reach of animals.
To minimise the risk of re-infestation and new infestation, excreta should be collected and
properly disposed of for 24 hours following treatment.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
In the interests of good hygiene, persons administering the chewable tablet directly to a
dog or by adding it to the dog’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:
Not applicable.
Other precautions:
Since it contains praziquantel, the veterinary medicinal product is effective against
Echinococcus spp. which do not occur in all EU member states but are becoming more
common in some. Echinococcosis represents a hazard for humans. As Echinococcosis is
a notifiable disease to the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), specific
guidelines on the treatment and follow-up, and on the safeguard of persons, need to be
obtained from the relevant competent authority.
