WARNINGS
In order to obtain effective parasite control, the treatment should be carried out on the basis of the results of the parasitological examination. To ensure correct dosage, animals should be weighed. Since cestode infestation in cats does not appear before the third week of life, treatment is indicated only after the third week of life. Resistance of parasites to a particular class of anthelmintics may develop as a result of frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of the same class. Echinococcosis represents a danger to humans. In case of echinococcosis specific guidelines must be followed for the treatment and follow-up and for the protection of people. Consult a parasitology expert or institute. Do not use in severely debilitated animals or with severe renal or hepatic impairment.
