Oral administration.
Use during pregnancy and lactation:
The product may be administered to pregnant females. It is safe to the female herself, to the unborn foetus and to the newborn young.
Contra-indications:
- Do not administer to dogs weighing less than 2.5 kg.
- Do not administer to unweaned puppies and kittens, as such animals are rarely infected with tapeworms.
- Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one common type of tapeworm - Dipylidium caninum. To avoid reinfection with this parasite, flea control of the animal and its housing should be carried out at the same time. Unless flea control is complete an infected flea population may survive: i.e. re-treatment of the animal may be necessary.
- As a precautionary measure to prevent the establishment of Echinococcus multilocularis in the UK and Ireland, it is recommended that all dogs and cats entering the country be treated with praziquantel.
