VetUK Cat Wormer 4 mg/10 mg Film-coated Tablets for Small Cats and Kittens

It is recommended to treat all the animals living in the same household concomitantly.
In order to develop an effective worm control programme local epidemiological information
and the living conditions of the cat should be taken into account and therefore it is
recommended to seek professional advice.
Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelmintic may develop following frequent,
repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.
When Dipylidium caninum infection is present, concomitant treatment against intermediate
hosts, such as fleas and lice, should be considered to prevent re-infection.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
No studies have been performed with severely debilitated cats or individuals with seriously
compromised kidney or liver function. The veterinary medicinal product is not
recommended for such animals or only according to the benefit-risk assessment by the
responsible veterinarian.
Studies have shown that treatment of dogs with a high number of circulating microfilariae
can sometimes lead to the appearance of hypersensitivity reactions, such as pale mucous
membranes, vomiting, trembling, laboured breathing or excessive salivation. These
reactions are associated with the release of proteins from dead or dying microfilariae and
are not a direct toxic effect of the veterinary medicinal product. In the absence of data on
cats with microfilaraemia, its use should be according to a benefit risk assessment by the
attending veterinarian.
