TREATMENT PROGRAMMES
Droncit is indicated for the treatment of dogs and cats for tapeworm
only. For
routine worming a broad spectrum product such as Drontal Allwormer for
Dogs A5557 or Drontal Allwormer for Cats 4kg A7042 is recommended.
SHEEP MEASLES CONTROL IN DOGS (TAENIA OVIS)
Dogs should be treated monthly with Droncit. For general dog health
every
three months the Droncit can be replaced with Drontal Allwormer for
Dogs
A5557. This will not compromise control of sheep measles as Drontal
Allwormer for Dogs A5557 is also effective against the sheep measles
tapeworm.
GENERAL TAPEWORM TREATMENT
Treat as often as required when tapeworm segments are seen. Dogs and
Cats infested with fleas can become rapidly reinfested with Dipylidium
Caninum in the absence of flea control. Dogs and cats that hunt small
prey
may also be more susceptible to Tapeworm infestation.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Droncit is given as a single dose by mouth and may be administered
immediately before or with a meal.
