• For routine worm control adult dogs should be treated with a single dose every 3 months.
• For the control of Toxocara, nursing bitches should be dosed 2 weeks after giving birth and every two weeks until weaning.
• In case of suspected heavy roundworm infestation, please contact your veterinary surgeon for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
• If there is a risk of re-infestation (see section ‘Special warnings for each target species’), the advice of a veterinarian should be sought regarding the need for and the frequency of repeat administration.

Cats:

• The tablet should be given directly to the cat, but if necessary can be disguised in food.
• 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.
• If signs of disease persist or appear, consult a veterinary surgeon.
• Do not give to kittens less than 6 weeks of age or cats less than 1kg in weight
