Anthelmintic for dogs and cats, with specific effect against cestodiadults and immature intestinal forms.

Echinococcus granulosus: the dog, carrier of echinococcus disease, infests through sheep, cattle or pigs and can also transmit echinococcosis to humans (hydatidosis, cystic form), a serious social disease of regions with sheep farming. The therapeutic and / or prophylactic intervention with Droncit (possibly programmed on a large scale) interrupts the biological cycle of the parasite and avoids transmission to humans.
