Droncit Feline Cestocide Tablets may be administered directly per os or crumbled and mixed with the feed. The recommended dosage of praziquantel varies according to body weight. Smaller animals require a relatively larger dosage because of their higher metabolic rate. The optimum dose for each individual animal will be achieved by utilizing the following dosage schedule:

*Not intended for use in kittens less than 6 weeks of age.

Fasting:

The recommended dosage of praziquantel is not affected by the presence or absence of food in the gastrointestinal tract, therefore, Fasting is neither necessary nor recommended.

Retreatment:

For those animals maintained on premises where reinfections are likely to occur, clients should be instructed in the steps necessary to prevent reinfection; otherwise, retreatment may be necessary.
