AVVERTENZE:

Le pulci sono gli ospiti intermedi di un tipo comune di tenia, denominata Dipylidium caninum. Tapeworm infestation will certainly recur if control measures are not implemented on intermediate hosts, such as fleas, mice, etc. Tapeworm infestation is unlikely in puppies less than 6 weeks old. Resistance of a parasite to a particular class of anthelmintics may develop following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class. Special precautions for those who administer the veterinary medicinal product to animals: in case of accidental ingestion, contact a doctor immediately and show him the package leaflet. In compliance with hygiene rules, wash your hands after administering the tablets directly to the dog or after adding them to his food. Overdose: Combined administration of praziquantel, pyrantel embonate and febantel is well tolerated by dogs. In safety studies, doses five or more times higher than recommended occasionally caused vomiting.

TARGET SPECIES:

INTERACTIONS:

Do not administer piperazine compounds simultaneously as the anthelmintic effects of pyrantel and piperazine may be antagonized. Concomitant use of other cholinergic compounds may cause toxicity.
