WARNINGS

• Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one common type of tapeworm, viz., Dipylidium caninum.  Tapeworm infestation is certain to reoccur, unless control of intermediate hosts such as fleas, rodents, etc., are undertaken. 
• Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelmintic may develop following frequent and repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.
• Do not use simultaneously with piperazine compounds, as the anthelmintic effects of pyrantel and piperazine may be antagonised.
• Do not use in kittens less than 6 weeks of age.
• Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substances, or to any of the excipients.
• Do not use during pregnancy; but may be used during lactation.
• KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, UNINFORMED PERSONS AND ANIMALS.
• Although this remedy has been extensively tested under a wide variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek veterinary advise and notify the registration holder.

PRECAUTIONS

• Any partially used tablet should be discarded according to local waste disposal regulations.

• The tablet should be given directly to the cat, or if necessary, it can be disguised in food. 
• Ensure that the cat has consumed the tablet.
• In ascarid infestation, especially in kittens, complete elimination cannot be expected, so a risk of infection for humans can persist. Repeat treatments, should therefore be carried out with a suitable roundworm product at 14-day intervals until 2 to 3 weeks after weaning. If signs of disease persist or reappear, consult a veterinarian.
• Adult cats should be dewormed regularly at intervals of 3 to 6 months to control worm infestations.
