Target Species
Cats.

Indications for use, specifying the target species
For the treatment of mixed infections caused by the following gastrointestinal roundworms and tapeworms:
Roundworms: Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina,
Tapeworms: Dipylidium caninum, Taenia taeniaeformis, Echinococcus multilocularis.

Contraindications
Do not use simultaneously with piperazine compounds.
Do not use in kittens less than 6 weeks of age.
Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients.

Special warnings for each target species
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.
Parasitic resistance to a certain class of anthelmintics can occur after frequent and repeated use of an anthelmintic from
this class.

Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals
Not applicable.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
In the interests of good hygiene, persons administering the tablets directly to the cat, or by adding them to the cat’s
food, should wash their hands afterwards.
In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice and show the package leaflet to the physician.

Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
None known.

Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Do not use during pregnancy but may be used during lactation.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Do not use simultaneously with piperazine compounds.

Amounts to be administered and administration route
To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
Dosage
The recommended dose is: 20 mg/kg pyrantel (57.5 mg/kg pyrantel embonate) and 5 mg/kg praziquantel. This is
equivalent to 1 tablet per 4 kg bodyweight.
Administration and duration of treatment
Single oral administration. The tablet should be given directly to the cat, but if necessary can be disguised in food.
In ascarid infestation, especially in kittens, complete elimination cannot be expected, so a risk of infection for humans
can persist. Repeat treatments should, therefore, be carried out with a suitable roundworm product at 14 day intervals
until 2-3 weeks after weaning.

Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
After doses higher than 5 times the recommended dose, signs of intolerance such as vomiting have been observed.

Withdrawal Period(s)
Not applicable.

Body weight tablets
1.0 - 2.0 kg ½
2.1 - 4.0 kg 1
4.1 - 6.0 kg 1 ½
