How to Give

• Fast your dog overnight, then give the tablets in the morning with about one-fifth of the daily food.
• Hold back the rest of the day's food for 8 hours.
• Don't break or crush the tablets.
• Worm adult dogs 2–4 times a year. Puppies can be wormed at 12, 16 and 24 weeks with the 100mg tablets.
• Use flea control as well, because fleas spread tapeworm.

• Don't repeat the dose if your dog is sick shortly after taking it.
• In very rare cases it can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy or unsteadiness.
• It can be used during pregnancy and while feeding puppies.
• It can irritate skin and eyes, so wash your hands after handling.
