What is Praziquantel?
Active Ingredients: Praziquantel
Praziquantel Injection is an anthelmintic drug used to treat parasitic infections in companion animals like dogs and cats. A single dose is typically effective, but it is important to prevent reinfection. It is effective against parasites like Dipylidium caninum, Taenia pisiformis, and Echinococcus granulosus.
Combination treatment with other medicines can provide a wider spectrum of parasite control.
Praziquantel belongs to the class of medicines called anthelmintics. The active ingredient work by paralyzing parasites, which causes them to release the blood vessels they are holding onto so the body can remove them naturally and kill them. Praziquantel is effective against trematodes and tapeworms.
