Description

D-Worm™ (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, D-Worm™ Tapeworm Tablets may not remove all tapeworms.

Uses

D-Worm™ (praziquantel) Tapeworm Tablets will remove the common tapeworms, Dipylidium caninum and Taenia pisiformis, 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 frequently 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 mammals (rabbits, hares) which are infected with tapeworm larvae. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.

Retreatment

Steps should be taken to control fleas and small mammals 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 nonsignificant. 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.

Store at controlled room temperature, 20°-25°C (68°-77°F).
