Droncit is available by prescription only. Droncit includes the active ingredient praziquantel, a parasite-control drug with strong activity against a number of different tapeworms. Droncit works by impairing the function of the tapeworm’s sucker. Droncit dislodges the parasite’s attachment to the intestinal tract.

For:

Cats (over 6 weeks of age), Dogs (over 4 weeks of age)

Benefits:

  • Tablets can be crumbled and mixed with food
  • Single-dose formula makes for easy oral administration

How it works

Praziquantel is a cestocide. Praziquantel works by damaging the parasite's skin internally so the parasite disintegrates and is removed by the pet's immune system.

Storage:

Should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.

  • Because humans can contract tapeworms from animals, it is important to clean up after your pet and to wash your hands thoroughly.
  • Droncit may be crumbled and mixed with food, or given by mouth.
  • Fasting is neither necessary nor recommended while treating the pet.
  • A second treatment may be necessary.
