Details

Droncit for Cats:

BENEFITS:

  • Easy to administer single dose tablets
  • Praziquantel eliminates tapeworms

Droncit (praziquantel) is absorbed, metabolized in the liver and excreted in the bile. Upon entering the digestive tract from the bile, cestocidal activity is exhibited.1 Following exposure to praziquantel, the tapeworm loses its ability to resist digestion by the mammalian host. Because of this, whole tapeworms, including the scolex, are very rarely passed after administration of praziquantel. In many instances only disintegrated and partially digested pieces of tapeworms will be seen in the stool. The majority of tapeworms killed are digested and are not found in the feces.

Droncit for Dogs:

BENEFITS:

  • Treats even severe tape worm infestations
  • Works with a single dose
  • Tablet can be crumbled and mixed with food

ADVERSE REACTIONS: One instance of diarrhea and one of salivation (1.5%) were reported during the field trials in which 135 cats were administered Droncit Feline Cestocide.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS:

Side effects of Droncit are rare, but may include vomiting, loss of appetite, drowsiness, or diarrhea in dogs and increased salivation and diarrhea in cats. Other side effects may also occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or bothersome to the animal.

WARNING: Keep out of the reach of children. Not for human use.

PRECAUTIONS:

Because humans can contract tapeworm from animals, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene. It is also important to eliminate fleas on the pet and in the household and to not feed the pet rodents or uncooked meat or fish. To prevent reinfection, daily cleanup of stools is recommended. Keep away from children.

STORAGE:

Keep in a cool/dry place

 

Instructions

Droncit for Cats:

USE DIRECTIONS: Droncit Feline Cestocide Tablets may be administered directly by mouth or crumbled and mixed with the feed. The recommended dosage of praziquantel varies according to body weight. Smaller animals require a relatively larger dosage because of their higher metabolic rate. The optimum dose for each individual animal will be achieved by utilizing the following dosage schedule:

Cats and Kittens*

4 pounds and under

1/2 tablet

5-11 pounds

1 tablet

Over 11 pounds

1 1/2 tablets

*Not intended for use in kittens less than 6 weeks of age.

FASTING: The recommended dosage of praziquantel is not affected by the presence or absence of food in the gastrointestinal tract, therefore,FASTING IS NEITHER NECESSARY NOR RECOMMENDED.

RETREATMENT: For those animals maintained on premises where reinfections are likely to occur, clients should be instructed in the steps necessary to prevent reinfection; otherwise, retreatment may be necessary. This is especially true in cases of Dipylidium caninum infections where reinfection is almost certain to occur if fleas are not removed from the animal and its environment.
