Defender Plus Nex

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:

The recommended dose rates are 57.5 mg/kg Pyrantel Pamoate and 5 mg/kg Praziquantel. This is equivalent to 1 tablet per 4 kg (9 lbs) body weight. The tablet should be given directly but if necessary can be disguised in food. Defender Nex Tablets may be given directly by mouth or offered in a small amount of food. Do not withhold food from the cat prior to or after treatment. The tablets are scored into halves to enable a range of weights to be treated.

Worming at least every 3 months will help keep the pets healthy and reduce the number of worm eggs shed into the environment. Hunting cats are especially susceptible to tapeworm infections because of the animals they catch, such as mice which act as intermediate hosts for several tapeworm species. Monthly worming can be recommended for hunting cats.
