JOHNSON'S VETERINARY PRODUCTS LTD SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1. NAME OF THE VETERINARY MEDICINAL PRODUCT: Johnson's Easy Tape-Wormer for Dogs. 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION: Active ingredient: Dichlorophen 500mg per tablet. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM: Tablet. 4. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES: Dichlorophen is an anthelmintic used in the treatment of infection by tapeworms in dogs and cats. It is given orally in tablet form for the treatment of Taeniasis and Dipylidiasis infections, and the recommended dose for dogs is up to 300mg per kilogram bodyweight and for cats is between 100 – 200mg per kilogram bodyweight. The mode of action is believed to act like salicylanilides by interfering with oxydative phosphorylation. Affected tapeworms are dislodged and disintegrate during their passage along the alimentary tract so they are not easily recognisable when passed 6-8 hours after dosing. Occasional vomiting and diarrhoea may occur at above the normal recommended dose. There are no additional signs of toxicity at doses up to 1000mg per kg bodyweight, but at doses higher than these, nervous tremors, dullness, depression and diarrhoea can occur. Loss of weight and appetite may also occur. The minimum lethal dose is between 2000 and 3900mg per kg bodyweight. ATC Vet Code QP52AG01. 5.
