Elanco Tapeworm Dewormer for Dogs, 5 Tablets
Size: 5 ct.
Does your dog have tapeworms? Treat your puppy or dog with Tapeworm Dewormer for Dogs. Containing the drug Praziquantel, this medication treats worm infections and is FDA approved for safe use in puppies and dogs. Praziquantel forces tapeworms to be digested by the host, thereby flushing it out of the dog's system. Each box comes with 5 dog dewormer tablets.How it Works
The liver absorbs and metabolizes praziquantel, and it is then excreted through the bile. Once it enters the dog's digestive tract, its cestocidal activity forces the tapeworm to succumb to host digestion. Entire tapeworms rarely completely pass through the digestive system of the host. Usually, tapeworms will be digested, and only small parasite pieces will be left behind in the feces following praziquantel treatment.
