What is Praziquantel?
Active Ingredients: Praziquantel
Praziquantel Oral Suspension is an anthelmintic drug used to treat parasitic infections in cats, dogs, cows, and sheep. A single dose is typically effective, but it is important to prevent reinfection. It is active against parasites like Dipylidium caninum, Taenia pisiformis, and Echinococcus granulosus.
Praziquantel is classified as an іѕоquіnоlіnе within the family of medicines called anthelmintics. It works 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.
It is important to note Praziquantel Oral Suspension is for veterinary purposes only.
