Domestic dogs living in E. multilocularis endemic areas that roam freely with the opportunity to catch wild rodents are at risk of infection.

Proper restraint of dogs should be encouraged, along with regular treatment with Drontal ® Plus Taste Tabs ® Tablets, following the dosing schedule aforementioned and precautions indicated below. Drontal Tasty Bone dog wormer is for the treatment of every type of intestinal worm commonly found in UK dogs and puppies.Drontal ® Plus Taste Tabs ® Tablets contain three active ingredients having different modes of action and spectra of activity. Praziquantel is active against cestodes (tapeworms). Praziquantel is absorbed, metabolized in the liver and excreted in the bile. Upon entering the digestive tract from the bile, cestocidal activity is exhibited. 1 Following exposure to praziquantel, the tapeworm loses its ability to resist digestion by the mammalian host. Because of this, whole tapeworms, including the scolices, are very rarely passed after administration of praziquantel. In many instances only disintegrated and partially digested pieces of tapeworms will be seen in the stool. The majority of tapeworms are digested and are not found in the feces.

Drontal Tasty Bone Wormer Tablets are a vet strength wormer developed to kill every type of intestinal worm commonly found in UK dogs and puppies weighing between 2 and 20kg.Yes, dog roundworms ( Toxocara canis), hookworms and tapeworms can all cause disease in people and it is one of the reasons why regularly worming our pets is so important. People who are particularly at risk include pregnant women, babies, toddlers and immunocompromised individuals such as the elderly, diabetics and people with HIV-infection.† The adult tapeworm is small (1-4mm) and resides in the intestinal tract of the definitive host (wild or domestic canids). Eggs from the adult tapeworm are shed in the feces. Rodents such as mice and voles serve as the intermediate host. Eggs ingested by rodents develop in the liver, lungs and other organs to form multilocular cysts. The life cycle is completed after a canid consumes a rodent infected with cysts. Larvae within the cyst develop into adult tapeworms in the intestinal tract of the canid. Eggs may be passed in the feces of the canid approximately 28 days later.
