ACTION:
Drontal
Plus Taste Tabs
Tablets contain three active ingredients having different
modes of action and spectra of activity. Praziquantel is active
against cestodes
(tapeworms). Praziquantel is absorbed, metabolized in the liver and
excreted in the bile.
Upon entering the digestive tract from the bile, cestocidal activity
is exhibited.
Following
exposure to praziquantel, the tapeworm loses its ability to resist
digestion by the
mammalian host. Because of this, whole tapeworms, including the
scolices, 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 are digested and are not found in the feces.
Pyrantel pamoate is active against hookworms and ascarids. Pyrantel
pamoate acts on
the cholinergic receptors of the nematode resulting in spastic
paralysis. Peristaltic action
of the intestinal tract then eliminates the parasite.
Febantel is active
