WARNINGS
To achieve effective parasite control, treatment should be based on the results of the parasitological examination of feces. It is not necessary to fast the animal during treatment; however, it is good practice to provide the animal with lighter and reduced meals starting from the day before deworming. It is preferable to administer the drug on an empty stomach. From the first administration, the elimination of parasites begins, and the disappearance of eggs usually occurs within 10 – 15 days after the last administration. Therefore, the fecal examination for control should be performed after the aforementioned period. During treatment and even afterward, it is necessary to carry out appropriate disinfestation operations in kennels or breeding facilities to avoid reinfestations. Furthermore, it is advisable to chemically denature the feces expelled by treated subjects to destroy any live parasites emitted and thus interrupt the continuation of the parasitic cycle. Special precautions for use in animals: none. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the product to animals: none. Administration of excessive doses does not cause any symptoms other than vomiting above 500 mg/Kg of active ingredient in dogs and 300 mg/Kg of active ingredient in cats. In the absence of compatibility studies, do not mix with other medicines.
