RETREATMENT: For those animals living where reinfections are likely to occur, clients should be instructed in the steps to optimize prevention otherwise, retreatment may be necessary. This is true in cases of Dipylidium caninum where reinfection is almost certain to occur if fleas are not removed from the animal and its environment. In addition, for control of Echinococcus multilocularis, a program of regular treatment every 21 to 26 days may be indicated see E. multilocularis section below.INDICATIONS: Drontal® Plus praziquantel/pyrantel pamoate/febantel Taste Tabs® Broad Spectrum Chewable Anthelmintic Tablets are indicated for removal of Tapeworms Dipylidium caninum, Taenia pisiformis, Echinococcus granulosus, and removal and control of Echinococcus multilocularis and for removal of Hookworms Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ascarids Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, and Whipworms Trichuris vulpis in dogs. CONTRAINDICATIONS: DO NOT USE IN PREGNANT ANIMALS. Dogs treated with elevated levels 6 consecutive days with 3 times the labeled dosage rate of the combination of febantel and praziquantel in early pregnancy demonstrated an increased incidence of abortion and fetal abnormalities.8 The effects of Drontal® Plus Anthelmintic Tablets on pregnant animals have not been determined. There are no known contraindications against the use of praziquantel or pyrantel pamoate in dogs. PRECAUTIONS: Strict hygienic precautions should be taken when handling dogs or feces suspected of harboring E. multilocularis. Infected dogs treated for the first time with Drontal® Plus Taste Tabs® Tablets and dogs treated at intervals greater than 28 days may shed eggs in the feces after treatment. The animal should be held in the clinic during this interval and all feces should be incinerated or autoclaved. If these procedures are not possible, the eggs can be destroyed by soaking the feces in a sodium hypochlorite bleach solution of 3.75% or greater.7 All areas where the animal was maintained or in contact with should be thoroughly cleaned with sodium hypochlorite and allowed to dry completely before reuse.
