Dose and administration

Weigh your dog before treatment and follow the dosage chart supplied with the pack. The authorised dose is nitroscanate 50mg per kg bodyweight, equivalent to one 500mg tablet per 10kg. Tablets must be swallowed whole and must not be broken, crushed or divided. For weights between the stated dose points, use the supplied leaflet’s chart or ask your vet to confirm the number of whole tablets. Do not estimate a dose by splitting tablets.

Give orally in the morning after overnight fasting, with approximately one-fifth of the daily food ration. Withhold the remaining food ration for eight hours afterwards to reduce the risk of vomiting. Always follow the supplied leaflet.

Ongoing worm care

The product information recommends routine adult worming two to four times a year. Ask your vet for a programme appropriate to your dog’s lifestyle. Flea control is also important because fleas transmit the tapeworm Dipylidium caninum. This is a treatment for specified worms, not a guarantee of ongoing protection against reinfection.

Precautions

For dogs only. Do not give to puppies younger than 12 weeks, dogs that are sick or recovering from illness, or dogs with a known allergy to nitroscanate or any other ingredient. If vomiting occurs shortly after dosing, do not repeat the treatment. Consult your vet if symptoms persist or appear.

The authorised product information permits use during pregnancy and lactation. Very rare reported reactions include vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy and lack of coordination. Contact your vet if an adverse reaction occurs.

The tablets can irritate skin and eyes, so keep the film coating intact and do not break or divide them. Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Read the supplied packaging and leaflet before use, including storage, expiry and disposal instructions.
