Drontal Plus XL Tablets for Dogs
Drontal Plus XL Tablets for Dogs are designed to provide comprehensive protection against the most common intestinal worms that can affect dogs. They are formulated specifically for larger dogs (up to 35kg per tablet), offering a convenient way to maintain effective parasite control. Regular worming is an essential part of responsible dog ownership, supporting not only your dog’s health but also the health of people and other animals around them.
How Drontal Plus XL for Dogs Works
Drontal Plus XL Tablets contain three active ingredients: praziquantel, pyrantel embonate, and febantel. Each of these ingredients targets a specific group of intestinal worms, ensuring broad-spectrum efficacy in a single dose.
- Praziquantel works by damaging the outer surface of tapeworms, causing them to disintegrate and be naturally expelled through the digestive system.
- Pyrantel embonate acts on roundworms and hookworms by paralysing the worms, allowing them to be eliminated through the dog’s faeces.
- Febantel targets whipworms and works synergistically with pyrantel to increase effectiveness. It is converted into active metabolites within the dog’s body that disrupt the worm’s metabolism, leading to its death.
This combination of ingredients ensures that Drontal Plus XL Tablets are effective against roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and whipworms, the four main types of intestinal worms found in dogs in the UK. The XL tablet size makes it easier to treat large dogs, reducing the number of tablets needed per treatment.
Drontal Plus XL works quickly, with most worms eliminated within a short period after administration. It is important to give the correct dosage according to your dog’s body weight to achieve full effectiveness. The tablets can be given directly to your dog or mixed with food for easier administration.
