TREATMENT PROGRAMMES
_BY LAW THE USER MUST TAKE DUE CARE, OBTAINING EXPERT ADVICE WHEN _
_NECESSARY, TO AVOID UNNECESSARY PAIN AND DISTRESS WHEN USING THE
PRODUCT _
_OTHER THAN AS DIRECTED ON THE LABEL. _
KITTENS: Treat at 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks of age, then every 3 months or
on
veterinary advice.
ADULT CATS: Treat every 3 months. Flea tapeworm (_Dipylidium_) can
reinfest cats
and begin producing segments in faeces 2-3 weeks after treatment. If
retreatment is needed before the next DRONTAL treatment is due, treat
with
DRONCIT® as an intermediate tapeworm-only treatment.
PREGNANT QUEENS: Treat just prior to mating, then 10 days before
kittening and
at 2 and 4 weeks after kittening. DRONTAL may be given to pregnant
queens at
any stage of pregnancy.
Note: DRONTAL does not control lungworm.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
DRONTAL is given as a single dose by mouth. The tablet is best
administered as
whole portions rather than crushed in feed since praziquantel gives it
a bitter
taste. DRONTAL may be given on an empty stomach or with food.
The dose rate is 1 tablet per 4 kg liveweight. Doses should be rounded
up to the
nearest ½ tablet.
