Notes: In roundworm infestations, especially in kittens, complete elimination cannot be expected, therefore a risk of infection for humans may persist. Repeated treatments should therefore be carried out with a suitable product against roundworms at 14-day intervals until 2-3 weeks after weaning.
Warnings
Tapeworm infestation occurs in cats at least in the third week of life. Fleas act as intermediate hosts for a common type of tapeworm, Dipylidium caninum. Tapeworm infestation is very likely to recur unless control of intermediate hosts, such as fleas, mice, etc., is undertaken. Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could lead to ineffective therapy: frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics belonging to the same class, over an extended period of time; underdosing, this can lead to serious complications. This may be due to underestimation of body weight or incorrect administration of the product.

In compliance with hygiene rules, anyone administering the tablet directly to the cat or adding it to the cat's food must wash their hands. Other precautions Echinococcosis represents a risk for humans.
