Drontal® Plus Taste Tabs® can be administered to dogs as young as 3 weeks of age and at least 2 pounds to remove:
Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.
PRECAUTIONS: Strict hygienic precautions should be taken when handling dogs or feces suspected of harboring E. multilocularis. Infected dogs treated for the first time with Drontal® Plus and dogs treated at intervals greater than 28 days may shed eggs in the feces after treatment.
Do not use in pregnant animals. The effects of Drontal® Plus on pregnant animals have not been determined.
The unique combination of ingredients in Drontal® Plus attack the worms in the dog’s intestinal tract. When administered to a dog, the active ingredients concentrate in the intestines, coming into direct contact with the worms. The worms will disintegrate, break apart or become paralyzed and then be expelled in the dog’s stool.
