How it works?
Febantel, Pyrantel and Praziquantel are the three active ingredients present in this oral treatment. Febantel is an anthelmintic that works against hookworm infections in dogs. It has proven efficiency against Ancylostoma spp and Toxocara spp. Pyrantel is a nicotinic receptor that evokes spastic muscle paralysis in parasitic worms which results in their ultimate death. While praziquantel is an anthelmintic that is used for treatment of tapeworms and flukes. When all these three active ingredients are combined together it results in total destruction of whipworms, hookworms and tapeworms in dogs.
