Drug & Food Interactions
Always tell your veterinarian about any medications or supplements your pet is taking prior to giving this medication. Do not give Drontal Plus if your pet is already receiving another deworming medication unless directed to by your veterinarian.
Precautions
Do not give Drontal Plus to puppies under 3 weeks or 2 pounds. Animals who are allergic to any of the active ingredients also should not take Drontal Plus. Do not use Drontal in pregnant or lactating females. Discuss the steps you can take to prevent reinfection and to prevent the spread of intestinal parasites to humans in your household with your veterinarian. Strict hygienic precautions should be taken when handling dogs or feces suspected of harboring E. multilocularis. Infected dogs treated for the first time with Drontal Plus Taste Tabs Tablets and dogs treated at intervals greater than 28 days may shed eggs in the feces after treatment. The animal should be held in the clinic during this interval and all feces should be incinerated or autoclaved. If these procedures are not possible, the eggs can be destroyed by soaking the feces in a sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution of 3.75% or greater. All areas where the animal was maintained or in contact with should be thoroughly cleaned with sodium hypochlorite and allowed to dry completely before reuse.
