Directions for use

Always fully read the product leaflet and packaging before use. Leave tablets in the foil blister until ready to administer. Weigh your dog carefully and follow the dose table supplied with the pack. Beaphar specifies one tablet per 10kg of body weight, using these weight bands:

• 3–5kg: half a tablet.
• Over 5kg to 10kg: one tablet.
• Over 10kg to 15kg: one and a half tablets.
• Over 15kg to 20kg: two tablets.

Beaphar’s general suitability wording says more than 3kg, while its dose table starts at 3kg. For a dog weighing exactly 3kg, check the supplied leaflet and seek veterinary advice before use.

Give the required dose directly or disguise it in food. Do not exceed the stated dose. For dogs over 20kg, Beaphar directs owners to the four-tablet pack. In the event of an overdose, seek immediate veterinary advice.

Treatment frequency

Beaphar’s instructions specify treating puppies at two weeks of age, then every two weeks until 12 weeks old, subject to the product’s weight restriction. Nursing dogs can be treated from two weeks after giving birth, at the same time and as frequently as their puppies until weaning. Follow the supplied leaflet and ask your vet about a suitable schedule.

Beaphar recommends routine adult treatment at least every three months, with more frequent treatment for higher-risk dogs. Ask your vet for a schedule suited to your dog. Address sources of tapeworm reinfestation, including fleas and infected rodents.
