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.

No studies have been performed with severely debilitated cats or individuals with seriously
compromised kidney or liver function. The product is not recommended for such animals
or only according to a 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 product. In the absence of data on cats with
microfilaraemia, its use should be according to a benefit risk assessment by the attending
veterinarian.
As the tablets are flavoured, they should be stored in a safe place out of the reach of
animals.
As per good veterinary practice, animals should be weighed to ensure accurate dosing.
Ensure cats and kittens weighing between 0.5 kg and ≤2 kg receive the appropriate tablet
strength (4 mg MBO/10 mg praziquantel) and the appropriate dose (1/2 or 1 tablet) for the
corresponding weight band (1/2 tablet for cats weighing 0.5 to 1 kg ; 1 tablet for cats
weighing >1 to 2 kg – 1 tablet).
4.5 ii Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
Wash hands after use.
Part tablets should be returned to the open blister pack and stored in the carton.
In the event of accidental ingestion of the tablets, particularly by a child, seek medical
advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the doctor.
Do not handle this product in case of hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of
the excipients.

4.5 iii 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.
