FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

Each Tablet Contains 34 mg Praziquantel.

DESCRIPTION:

Tape Worm Tabs^® (praziquantel) tapeworm tablets for dogs and puppies are sized for easy oral administration to either adult dogs or puppies. The tablets may be given directly in the mouth or crumbled and mixed with the food. If given with food, mix the tablet(s) with a small amount of the animal’s usual ration. If all of the tablet(s) is/are not eaten, Tape Worm Tabs^® tapeworm tablets may not remove all tapeworms.

USES:

Tape Worm Tabs^® (praziquantel) tapeworm tablets will remove the common tapeworms, Dipylidium caninum and Taenia taeniaeformis, from dogs and puppies.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Tapeworm infection is one of the most common internal parasite problems actually observed by dog owners. The presence of tapeworms is indicated by the presence of tapeworm segments passed with the feces. Tapeworm segments are white, pinkish-white or yellow-white and similar in size and shape to flattened grains of rice. The segments are most frequent observed lying on the animal’s droppings or, less often, moving across a freshly passed stool. Segments are also found on the hair around the anus of the animal, or occasionally on the animal’s bedding. Dogs become infected with tapeworms after eating fleas or small rodents (rats, mice) which are infected with tapeworm larvae. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:

Administer to dogs and puppies* only as follows:

5 pounds and under…………………1/2 tablet
6-10 pounds………………………….1 tablet
11-15 pounds………………………..1 ½ tablets
16-30 pounds………………………..2 tablets
31-45 pounds………………………..3 tablets
46-60 pounds………………………..4 tablets
Over 60 pounds……………………..5 tablets maximum

*Not intended for use in puppies less than 4 weeks of age.

FASTING IS NEITHER NECESSARY NOR RECOMMENDED

RETREATMENT:

Steps should be taken to control fleas and rodents on the premises in order to prevent reinfection; otherwise, retreatment will be necessary. This is especially true in cases of tapeworms transmitted by fleas (Dipylidium caninum) where reinfection is almost certain to occur if fleas are not removed from the animal and its environment. If reinfection occurs, tapeworm segments may be observed within one month of the initial treatment.

SIDE EFFECTS:

Isolated incidents of either vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite or listlessness have been reported following treatment, but were considered non-significant. If these signs are observed and they persist, consult your veterinarian.

WARNING:

Consult your veterinarian before administering tablets to weak or debilitated animals.

WARNING: Keep out of the reach of children. Not for human use.
