Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelmintic may develop following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.

When D. caninum infection is present, concomitant treatment against intermediate hosts, such as fleas and lice, should be considered to prevent re-infection.

Dogs kept together or in kennels should be treated at the same time.

Roundworm and Hookworm infections:

In some animals, Ancylostoma caninum and Toxocara canis may not be totally eradicated by the treatment, resulting in a continued risk of shedding of eggs into the environment. Follow-up examinations of the faeces are advisable and, based on the results of these examinations, treatment with a nematodicidal product should be carried out, if necessary.

In debilitated or heavily infested animals, the product should be used only according to a benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian.

The safety of the product has not been established in bitches during pregnancy and lactation.

Laboratory studies in rats and rabbits have not produced any evidence of teratogenic, foetotoxic or maternotoxic effects. Use only according to the benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinary surgeon.

Do not use simultaneously with levamisole, piperazine or choline esterase inhibitors.

In safety studies overdoses of 3 times the highest recommended dose of 10 mg pyrantel, 40 mg oxantel and 10 mg praziquantel per kg bodyweight or overdoses of the highest recommended dose given for 3 consecutive days led to sporadic vomiting or soft faeces. These clinical signs resolved without further treatment.
