FAQ
- Controls roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and certain tapeworms
- Powder form allows for accurate dosing
- Excellent safety profile
Panacur oral dewormer contains fenbendazole, which kills parasites by disrupting their energy metabolism.
Panacur is given orally and mixed with a small amount of food. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. In most cases, it must be given for multiple consecutive days.
Panacur will safely remove roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and Taenia pisiformis (a tapeworm). It will not prevent reinfection with these parasites.
Have your veterinarian explain the other treatment options that may be available to treat your pet's condition.
Some intestinal parasites, such as hookworms and roundworms can be spread to people. Talk to your veterinarian about other measures you can take to prevent your pet from being infected with intestinal worms, and protecting yourself.
Notify your veterinarian of any other medications or supplements your pet is receiving. Also tell your veterinarian if your pet has had any reactions to previous medications.
If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once. Contact your veterinarian to determine if additional doses will be needed.
Panacur is mixed with the food, so it is very important that the pet eat all of the food and consume all of the Panacur.
Not for use in animals who are hypersensitive (allergic) to it.
Rare. May see vomiting.
If your pet experiences an allergic reaction to the medication or has a reaction to the dying parasites, signs may include facial swelling, hives, scratching, sudden onset of diarrhea, vomiting, shock, seizures, pale gums, cold limbs, or coma. If you observe any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Panacur is a very safe drug. Adverse reactions and toxicities are unlikely. If you know or suspect your pet has had an overdose, or if you observe any unusual signs, symptoms, or behaviors, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Notify your veterinarian of any other medications, including vitamins and supplements, your pet is taking while your pet is receiving fenbendazole. There are no known drug or food interactions.
Store at room temperature in a tight, light-resistant, childproof container. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
