Drontal Small/Medium 3.1-20kg Allwormer Chews
Overview
Drontal Allwormer Chews for Dogs are oral chewable tablets formulated to control the major intestinal worms commonly found in dogs — including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms. The chews use praziquantel, pyrantel embonate and febantel to target multiple worm species at different stages.
When given by mouth, a single dose treats existing intestinal worm infections. Puppies can begin treatment from two weeks of age, and ongoing dosing is based on age and risk factors.
Drontal is part of a comprehensive worm control range designed for routine intestinal worm prevention when used as directed.
Ingredients
Active: Febantel, Pyrantel (as Embonate), Praziquantel. Inactive: Not publicly documented.
Febantel is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic used to treat intestinal worm infections in dogs. It is converted in the body into active compounds that interfere with parasite energy production, effectively eliminating roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms.
Pyrantel is an anthelmintic commonly used to treat roundworm and hookworm infections in dogs. It causes spastic paralysis in susceptible worms by acting as a nicotinic receptor agonist, allowing them to be expelled through normal bowel movements.
Praziquantel is an antiparasitic drug widely used to treat tapeworm infections in dogs. It works by causing severe spasms and paralysis in tapeworms, allowing them to be digested and eliminated from the body.
Unknown ingredients refer to components listed in pet food formulations whose specific identity or source is not disclosed. These may originate from animal, plant, or synthetic sources. Their primary purpose can vary, including nutritional supplementation or functional roles such as preservation. As their exact form is unspecified, it is unclear whether they are used in their natural state or as processed compounds, raising concerns about transparency and traceability.
This ingredient is included as a cost-effective component or processing aid, potentially serving to optimise manufacturing efficiency or product texture. Its presence may also support labelling requirements or contribute to the product’s stability, though its specific functional role is not clearly defined.
