Uses / Parasite Coverage

Bandystar Plus is described for treatment and control of common intestinal worm infestations in dogs, including:

• Tapeworms – including Dipylidium caninum and Taenia species

• Roundworms – including Toxocara canis

• Hookworms – including Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala

• Whipworms – including Trichuris vulpis

How the Active Ingredients Work

• Praziquantel Pamoate: Provides activity against susceptible tapeworms and interferes with their ability to remain attached within the intestinal tract.

• Pyrantel Embonate: Acts against susceptible roundworms and hookworms by affecting their neuromuscular activity.

• Febantel: Provides anthelmintic activity against susceptible nematodes, including whipworms.

The combination therefore provides activity against both cestode and nematode intestinal parasites.
