Drontal (Pyrantel Pamoate + Febantel) Suspension

Drontal Suspension is a veterinary medication formulated to combat intestinal worms in dogs and cats. It contains two active ingredients: Pyrantel Pamoate and Febantel. Pyrantel Pamoate primarily targets roundworms and hookworms by paralyzing them, facilitating their expulsion through feces. Febantel, on the other hand, widens the spectrum of action by also addressing whipworms alongside roundworms and hookworms. By disrupting the metabolism of these parasites, Febantel leads to their demise and eventual elimination from the pet’s body.

This suspension formulation offers ease of administration, particularly beneficial for pets who resist taking tablets. It usually comes with a dosing syringe to ensure accurate measurement based on the pet’s weight. However, it’s crucial to consult a veterinarian before administering Drontal Suspension to ascertain the appropriate dosage and confirm its suitability for the specific condition of the pet. Following the dosage instructions meticulously and adhering to the guidelines on the packaging is essential to ensure the medication’s efficacy and the pet’s safety.
