WARNINGS
Fleas are the intermediate hosts of a common type of tapeworm called Dipylidium caninum. Tapeworm infestation will certainly recur if control measures are not implemented on intermediate hosts, such as fleas, mice, etc. Resistance of a parasite to a particular class of anthelmintics may develop following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class. To ensure the correct dosage, body weight must be determined as accurately as possible. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the product to animals: in case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet to the physician. In compliance with hygiene rules, wash your hands after administering the tablets directly to the dog or after adding them to his food.
