Dosage and administration route: 1 tablet per 10 kg of body weight (equal to 15 mg of febantel, 14.4 mg of pyrantel embonate and 5 mg of praziquantel/kg b.w.). Body weight 2-5 kg: 1/2 tablet. Body weight 5.1-10 kg: 1 tablet. Body weight 10.1-15 kg: 1 tablet + 1/2 tablet. Body weight 15.1-20 kg: 2 tablets. For an additional 5 kg b.w., administer an additional half tablet. The flavoured tablets and studies have shown that they are palatable and are taken spontaneously by the majority (approximately 9 out of 10) of the dogs tested. The tablets should be given as a single dose. The tablets can be administered with or without food. It is not necessary to restrict access to a normal diet before or after treatment.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes) if necessary: Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for a common type of tapeworm, Dyplidium caninum. If intermediate hosts, such as fleas, mice, etc., are not controlled, tapeworm infestations will certainly return. To minimise the risk of re-infestation or re-infestation, faeces should be collected and disposed of properly for 24 hours after treatment. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals: In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician. In the interests of good hygiene, wash hands after handling the tablets. Other precautions: As it contains praziquantel, the product is effective against Echinococcus spp. which are not present in all EU Member States, but are becoming more common in some. Echinococcosis represents a danger to humans and is a notifiable disease to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). When echinococcosis is suspected, specific guidance on treatment, follow-up and protection of humans should be obtained from the relevant competent authority. Overdose: 10 times the recommended dose of product has been tolerated by dogs and puppies without signs of adverse reactions.
Storage: This medicine does not require any special storage conditions. After opening the blister, the remaining halved tablets should be wrapped in foil and returned to the opened blister. Shelf life of halved tablets: 7 days.
