PRAZIQUANTEL- PRAZIQUANTEL INJECTION, SOLUTION BIMEDA, INC. ---------- 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.
