What is Profender Cat Dewormer?

Profender Cat Dewormer is the first-ever, topical dewormer used to treat and control intestinal parasites in cats, such as hookworms, tapeworms and roundworms. Not only is Profender Cat Dewormer easy to use, safe and effective, it also works in a single-dose capacity so there is no need for that pesky second dose! Profender Cat Dewormer contains a combination of insecticides (emodepside and praziquantel) and requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

For:

Cats (8+ weeks of age, weighing 2.2+ lbs)

Benefits:

  • Kills hookworms, tapeworms and roundworms
  • Fast-acting, powerful topical treatment
  • One-time application in a single dose
  • Safe and effective

How does Profender Cat Dewormer work?

Profender Cat Dewormer works by using the time-tested active ingredient praziquantel and a unique compound called emodepside to eradicate intestinal parasites. Once Profender Cat Dewormer encounters your cat's skin, it rapidly enters the bloodstream and travels to the intestines, controlling and eliminating unwanted parasites.

Cautions:

Not for use on kittens under 8 weeks old or those under 2.2 lbs. and safe use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating pets has not been determined. Use with caution in sick or debilitated cats. Keep out of reach of children, and to prevent accidental ingestion of the product, children should not come in contact with the application site for 24 hours while the product is being absorbed. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should avoid direct contact with, or wear disposable gloves when applying this product.

How should Profender Cat Dewormer be used?

Profender Cat Dewormer is applied topically to the skin. It is not given by mouth. Do not apply to broken skin or if the hair coat is wet. Follow the manufacturer's directions for application. A single treatment is effective and a second treatment should not be necessary. If re-infection occurs, the product can be re-applied after 30 days. If you do not understand the directions, or if you have difficulty applying the medication, contact your pharmacist or veterinarian.

What are the potential side effects of Profender Cat Dewormer?

Side effects that may occur include licking/excessive grooming, scratching at treatment site, salivation, lethargy, alopecia (loss of hair), agitation/nervousness, vomiting, diarrhea, eye irritation, respiratory irritation, and shaking/tremors. Other side effects may also occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or bothersome to your pet.

What happens if I miss giving a dose of Profender Cat Dewormer?

A single treatment is effective and a second treatment should not be necessary. If re-infection occurs, the product can be re-applied after 30 days following the initial dose.

What happens if I overdose my pet on Profender Cat Dewormer?

Seek emergency veterinary medical treatment. Symptoms of overdose may include increased salivation, tremors, or drowsiness.

What should I avoid when applying Profender Cat Dewormer?

Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you do not understand these instructions ask your veterinarian or pharmacist to explain them to you. Do not use in cats under 8 weeks of age or less than 2.2 lbs. Do not use on cats that are sick, debilitated, or underweight. Do not allow any animal to lick the application site for 24 hours. Separation of treated animals may be necessary. Children should not come in contact with the application site for 24 hours after application. Pregnant women, or women who may become pregnant, should avoid direct contact with, or wear disposable gloves when applying, this product.
