Description
Cazitel Worming Tablets for Cats are indicated for the treatment of mixed infections caused by the following gastrointestinal roundworms and tapeworms in cats:
- Roundworms: Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina
- Tapeworms: Dipylidium caninum, Taenia taeniaeformis, Echinococcus multilocularis.
The recommended dose is 20 mg/kg bodyweight pyrantel (equivalent to 57.5 mg/kg pyrantel embonate) and 5 mg/kg praziquantel. This is equivalent to 1 tablet per 4 kg bodyweight.
Tablets can be divided into equal halves to assist with accurate dosing.
For single oral administration.
The tablets should be given directly to the cat but if necessary can be disguised in food.
To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible.

In roundworm infestation, especially in kittens, complete elimination cannot be expected, so a risk of infection for humans can persist. Repeat treatments should therefore be carried out with a suitable roundworm product at 14 day intervals until 2-3 weeks after weaning.
