Safety Warnings, Precautions & Storage

• Feline Specific Formulation: Formulated specifically for cats. Do not use dog deworming tablets on cats unless specifically directed by a veterinarian.

• Age & Weight Minimums: Do not use on kittens under 6 weeks of age or weighing less than 1 kg.

• Pregnancy Caution: Consult your veterinarian prior to administering to pregnant queens. Do not administer during early pregnancy without veterinary clearance.

• Drug Interactions: Do not administer concurrently with piperazine compounds, as pyrantel and piperazine have antagonistic neuromuscular effects.

• Tapeworm Observation: Tapeworms disintegrate and are digested within the feline gut; you will typically not see whole tapeworms in the litter box post-treatment.

• Storage: Store below 25°C in a dry place. Protect from direct heat, sunlight, and moisture. Keep unused tablet halves sealed in the blister and administer within 7 days. Keep strictly out of reach of children and household pets.
