What is Drontal Plus?

Drontal Plus is a broad-spectrum dewormer used in dogs to treat tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Drontal Plus is sold per tablet and requires a prescription.

For:

Dogs & Puppies (3+ weeks of age, weighing 2+ lbs)

Benefits:

  • Proven to eliminate the most common intestinal parasites (tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms)
  • Chewable tablets are easy to give
  • Given as a single dose
  • Sold per tablet

How does Drontal Plus work?

Drontal Plus' active ingredients are praziquantel, pyrantel pamoate and febantel. Praziquantel works by damaging the parasite's skin internally, so the parasite disintegrates and is removed by your pet's immune system. Pyrantel pamoate is active against hookworms and ascarids and acts as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, causing sudden contraction, followed by paralysis. This results in the hookworm losing its grip in the intestinal wall and is removed from your pet's system by the natural process. Febantel is active against nematode parasites, including whipworms.

Cautions:

Side effects of Drontal Plus are rare but may include vomiting, loss of appetite, or diarrhea. Other side effects may also occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any unusual or bothersome side effects that may occur.

Brand Name:

Drontal Plus (Bayer)

Praziquantel (pra-zee-kwan'-tell) with pyrantel pamoate and febantel
