If these procedures are not possible, the eggs can be destroyed by soaking the feces in a sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution of 3.75% or greater.6 All areas where the animal was maintained or in contact with should be thoroughly cleaned with sodium hypochlorite and allowed to dry completely before reuse.

The recommended dosage of praziquantel varies according to body weight. Smaller animals require a relatively larger dosage because of their higher metabolic rate. The optimum dose for each individual animal will be achieved by utilizing the following dosage schedule: Dogs and Puppies* # of Tablets 5 lbs. and Under 1/2 tablet 6-10 lbs 1 tablet 11-15 lbs 1-1/2 tablets 16-30 lbs 2 tablets 31-45 lbs 3 tablets 46-60 4 tablets Over 60 lbs 5 tablets max *Not intended for use in puppies less than 4 weeks of age.

RETREATMENT: For those animals living where reinfections are likely to occur, clients should be instructed in the steps to optimize prevention, otherwise, retreatment may be necessary. This is true in cases of Dipylidium caninum where reinfection is almost certain to occur if fleas are not removed from the animal and its environment. In addition, for control of Echinococcus multilocularis, a program of regular treatment every 21 to 26 days may be indicated. - INGREDIENTS:Ingredients: Each Tablet Contains 34 mg Praziquantel - HEIGHT(INCHES): 1.000 - WIDTH(INCHES):1.000 - LENGTH(INCHES):1.000
