----------
PRAZIQUANTEL
_(PRAZIQUANTEL)_ INJECTION
INJECTABLE CESTOCIDE FOR DOGS AND CATS
56.8 MG/ML SOLUTION
DESCRIPTION:
Praziquantel Injection Cestocide is a clear solution containing 56.8
milligrams of
praziquantel per mL which has been formulated for subcutaneous or
intramuscular use
in dogs and cats for removal of cestodes (tapeworms).
INDICATIONS:
Praziquantel Injection Cestocide is indicated for the removal of the
following canine
and/or feline cestodes.
Dogs: _Dipylidium caninum, Taenia pisiformis, Echinococcus granulosus_
and for the
removal and control of _Echinococcus multilocularis._ Cats: _Taenia
taeniaeformis_ and
_Dipylidium caninum._
ACTION:
Praziquantel Injection is absorbed, metabolized in the liver and
excreted via the bile into
the digestive tract where its cestocidal activity is exerted .
Following exposure to
praziquantel, the tapeworm loses its ability to resist digestion by
the mammalian host.
Because of this, whole tapeworms, including the scolex, are very
rarely passed after
administration of praziquantel. It is common to see only disintegrated
and partially
digested pieces of tapeworms in the stool. The majority of tapeworms
killed are digested
and are not found in the feces.
USE DIRECTIONS:
Praziquantel Injection Cestocide may be administered by either the
subcutaneous or
intramuscular route to dogs and cats. The recommended dosage of
praziquantel varies
according to body weight. Smaller animals require a relatively larger
dosage. The
optimum dosage for each individual animal will be achieved by
utilizing the following
dosage schedule.
