Panacur Granules

Panacur Granules for Cats

Effective broad-spectrum worming treatment for cats

Panacur Granules for Cats are a reliable and easy-to-use broad-spectrum anthelmintic (worming) treatment, formulated to eliminate a range of intestinal worms that can affect your cat's health. They are designed for the effective treatment and control of roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and certain protozoa such as Giardia. Each sachet contains fenbendazole, a trusted active ingredient used by veterinarians to maintain the intestinal health of cats and kittens.

How Panacur Granules work

The active ingredient in Panacur Granules, fenbendazole, belongs to the benzimidazole class of anthelmintics. It works by disrupting the metabolism of energy within the worm’s cells. Specifically, fenbendazole binds to the parasite’s microtubules, preventing glucose uptake and energy production. Without energy, the worm becomes immobilised and eventually dies, allowing your cat’s digestive system to expel the parasite naturally.

This targeted mode of action ensures that Panacur Granules effectively treat both adult and immature stages of gastrointestinal worms, breaking the parasite’s life cycle and helping to prevent reinfestation. The result is a cleaner, healthier digestive tract and improved overall well-being for your cat.

Simple administration and palatable formulation

Panacur Granules are designed to be mixed easily with food, making administration straightforward. The granules are odourless and tasteless, meaning even fussy cats can take them without difficulty. For accurate dosing, the sachets are available in several strengths to suit cats of all sizes and ages. Always follow your veterinary surgeon’s dosage instructions to ensure your cat receives the correct amount based on body weight.

Panacur Granules are suitable for use in adult cats, kittens, and breeding queens. They can also be used during pregnancy, under veterinary supervision, as part of a controlled worming programme.

Why worming your cat is essential

Regular worming is an important part of responsible cat care. Intestinal worms are among the most common parasites affecting domestic cats, and even indoor cats are at risk. Worm infestations can be picked up through contaminated soil, prey animals, fleas, or contact with other infected pets. Kittens may also contract worms from their mother before or shortly after birth.

The presence of worms can lead to a variety of health issues, depending on the severity of the infestation and the type of parasite involved. Common symptoms include weight loss, vomiting, diarrhoea, dull coat, and visible worms in the faeces or around the anus. In kittens, heavy infestations can cause stunted growth and weakness due to poor nutrient absorption. Some worms can also pose a risk to human health, particularly children, through accidental ingestion of worm eggs from contaminated environments.

Types of worms Panacur Granules target

Panacur Granules are effective against several common feline intestinal parasites, including:

• Roundworms (Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina): These are among the most frequently encountered worms in cats. They live in the small intestine and can cause digestive upset and bloating.
• Hookworms (Ancylostoma species): These parasites attach to the intestinal lining and feed on blood, leading to anaemia and weight loss.
• Tapeworms (Taenia species): Cats can acquire tapeworms by ingesting infected rodents or fleas. Infected cats may show irritation around the rear or segments of tapeworms in the faeces.
• Protozoa (Giardia spp.): Panacur Granules can also aid in the treatment and control of Giardia infections, which can cause chronic diarrhoea and intestinal discomfort.
• By targeting these parasites, Panacur Granules help protect your cat’s internal health and prevent secondary conditions associated with parasite infestations.
• Routine worming for long-term protection

Veterinary professionals recommend worming adult cats at least four times per year, or more frequently for outdoor cats or households with multiple pets. Kittens should be treated more regularly, starting from three weeks of age, as their developing immune systems are more vulnerable to worm infections.

A consistent worming routine using trusted products like Panacur Granules helps ensure your cat remains healthy, energetic, and free from discomfort. It also helps reduce environmental contamination with worm eggs, contributing to a safer home environment for both pets and people.

Maintaining your cat’s health

In addition to routine worming, maintaining your cat’s parasite control programme should include regular flea prevention, as fleas can carry tapeworm larvae. Good hygiene practices, such as cleaning litter trays daily and washing hands after handling pets, further reduce the risk of reinfection.

Panacur Granules can form part of an integrated parasite control plan, keeping your cat protected from internal parasites throughout its life. Always consult your veterinary surgeon for advice on the most appropriate worming schedule for your cat’s age, health, and lifestyle.
