Drontal Plus is a broad-spectrum dewormer used in dogs to treat tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms.
Drontal contains active ingredients praziquantel, pyrantel pamoate and febantel. Praziquantel works by damaging the parasite's skin internally, so the parasite disintegrates and is removed by the pet's immune system. Pyrantel pamoate is active against hookworms and ascarids and acts as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, causing sudden contraction, followed by paralysis. This results in the hookworm losing its grip in the intestinal wall and is removed from the pets system by natural process. Febantel is active against nematode parasites including whipworms.

Drontal Plus Tablets have been developed for oral administration. Tablets may be given by mouth or offered in a small amount of food. Fasting is neither necessary nor recommended prior to or after treatment.
Because humans can contract tapeworm from animals, it is important to take strict hygienic precautions. It is also important to eliminate fleas on the pet and the household and not to feed the pet rodents or uncooked meat or fish. To prevent reinfection, daily clean up of stools is recommended.
