Description

WARNINGS In order to obtain effective pest control, treatment should be carried out on the basis of the results of the parasitological examination on the stool. It is not necessary to administer purgatives or make the animal observe fasting during treatment; during worming, it is a good idea to give the animals lighter than usual meals. It is preferable to administer the drug on an empty stomach and at the same time with little appreciated food. With the administration of the drug according to the indicated modalities, the total disappearance of adult parasites is obtained. To eliminate the larval forms of hookworms and roundworms it is necessary to repeat the complete treatment after 60 days for roundworm infestations and after 18 days for hookworm infestations, from the end of the first treatment. Already from the first administration the elimination of parasites begins; complete disappearance of eggs usually occurs within 10-15 days of the last administration. Therefore the examination of the feces for control must be carried out after the aforementioned period of time has elapsed. During the treatment and also subsequently it is necessary to carry out, especially in kennels or farms, the appropriate disinfestation operations of the premises in order to avoid reinfestation. Furthermore, the chemical denaturation of the feces expelled by the treated subjects should be carried out in order to interrupt the continuation of the parasitic cycle.
