What does Drontal Plus Taste Tab do?
Drontal Plus Taste Tabs contain 3 active ingredients with different action modes.
- Febantel is an ingredient that works against nematode parasites, such as whipworms. It is quickly metabolized and absorbed in the body. Available information shows that the energy metabolism of the parasite is blocked, which leads to a breakdown of energy exchange and an inhibition of glucose uptake.
- Pyrantel pamoate is an ingredient that works against ascarids and hookworms. It affects the cholinergic receptors in the nematode, which results in spastic paralysis. The peristaltic action of the pet's intestinal tract eliminates the parasite.
- Praziquantel fights against tapeworms (cestodes). It is absorbed, then metabolized by the liver and excreted through the bile. After entering the digestive tract through the bile, the activity of cestodes is exhibited. After praziquantel exposure, tapeworms lose their ability to resist digestion by the mammal's host. Due to this, whole tapeworms, complete with the scolices, are very infrequently passed following praziquantel administration. In many cases, only partially digested or disintegrated tapeworm pieces will be found in the stool. Most tapeworms are digested and will not be found in the fecal matter.
Drontal Plus Taste Tab side effects
While rare, side effects include diarrhea, loss of appetite, or vomiting. Other side effects could also occur. Speak with your veterinarian about any symptoms that seem bothersome or unusual for your pet.

What to know before using Drontal Plus Taste Tab
- Areas in which the animal has been maintained or areas they have made contact with should be cleaned thoroughly with sodium hypochlorite. Allow the area to completely dry prior to reuse.
- Exercise strict hygiene precautions when handling feces or dogs that may harbor E. multilocularis. Infected dogs being treated for the first time with this medication, as well as dogs being treated at intervals over 28 days, could shed eggs in their feces following treatment. These animals should be held in the clinic during treatment intervals, and their feces should be autoclaved or incinerated. If this is not possible, eggs may be destroyed by soaking feces in a solution of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) in a strength of 3.75% or more.
- Dogs dosed with elevated levels of praziquantel and febantel (for 6 consecutive days at 3 times the recommended dosage) in early pregnancy experienced increased risk of fetal abnormalities and abortion. Safety in pregnant animals has not been proven. Do not administer to pregnant animals.
- Keep away from animals and children.

ADMINISTRATION: Most dogs find Drontal Plus Taste Tabs Tablets palatable. The tablets may be offered to the dog by hand. Alternatively tablets may be given directly by mouth or offered in a small amount of food. Fasting is neither necessary nor recommended prior to or after treatment.
RETREATMENT: For those animals living where reinfections are likely to occur, clients should be instructed in the steps to optimize prevention; otherwise, retreatment may be necessary. This is true in cases of Dipylidium caninum where reinfection is almost certain to occur if fleas are not removed from the animal and its environment. In addition, for control of Echinococcus multilocularis, a program of regular treatment every 21 to 26 days may be indicated.
