For the treatment of adult tapeworms in dogs and cats.

The product is effective against both immature and mature forms of adult tapeworms in both dogs and cats.

The product is a highly effective treatment against all the common species of tapeworms infecting dogs and cats in the United Kingdom and Ireland including Echinococcus granulosus, Taenia multiceps, Taenia hydatigena, Taenia ovis, Taenia pisiformis, Taenia taeniaeformis and Dipylidium caninum. Droncit is also effective against Echinococcus multilocularis.

Don’t forget the flea control! Fleas are often infected with the larvae of the Flea Tapeworm, which can be transferred to your cat by swallowing the flea while grooming. So in order to control worms, you also need to control fleas. A spot-on treatment is the easiest way to protect your cat - but you may also need one that kills flea larvae in your pet"s surroundings, to effectively break the flea lifecycle.If you don’t control a flea problem at the same time as worming, your cat is almost certain to be re-infected.

Other information

• Can be used during pregnancy and lactation
• Do not use on unweaned puppies and kittens
• Do not administer to dogs weighing less than 2.5 kg

How to administer
The tablets are administered by opening the animal"s mouth and pushing the tablet over the back of the tongue so that it cannot be rejected. Alternatively, a tablet can be wrapped in a piece of meat or butter and offered to the animal or crushed and mixed with the food.

A single dose is all that is required. However, for dogs in rural areas and for packs of hounds this dose should be repeated every six weeks to ensure that newly acquired tapeworms are destroyed before reaching maturity. Dosing must be associated with strict control of the dog"s diet to ensure that uncooked offal is not eaten.
