DESCRIPTION: Drontal Feline is a broad-spectrum dewormer that contains Pyrantel Pamoate and Praziquantel. If purchased in a 50-count bottle, this medication may be obtained over-the-counter.
Key Benefits:
Drontal combines Praziquantel and Pyrantel Pamoate. Praziquantel works by damaging the parasite's skin from within, which causes parasite disintegration. The animal's immune system then eliminates the parasite. Pyrantel Pamoate eradicates hookworms and ascarids (roundworms). This blocking agent works by causing parasite paralysis. Worms lose their grip on the intestinal wall, and they are ultimately eliminated naturally from the body.
Formulated For: For cats only.
