WARNINGS: In order to obtain effective parasite control, treatment should be carried out based on the results of the fecal parasitological examination. It is not necessary to fast during treatment; however, it is good practice during deworming and starting the day before to feed the animal smaller and lighter meals than usual. It is preferable to administer the product on an empty stomach. The elimination of parasites begins after the first administration and the eggs usually disappear within 10-15 days of the last administration. Therefore, faecal examinations should be carried out after this period of time has elapsed. During and after treatment, appropriate disinfection procedures should be carried out, especially in kennels or breeding units, to prevent reinfestation. In addition, it is recommended to chemically denature the faeces expelled by the treated subjects in order to destroy any live parasites eliminated and thus interrupt the continuation of the parasitic cycle.
