If new infestations occur, consult a veterinarian. The local epidemiological situation and the cats' living conditions must be taken into account before renewing treatment with Voxical for cats and kittens. Parasites can develop resistance to treatment, if the same category of medication is used frequently or repeatedly.
The reappearance of worms may be recurrent. It is caused by intermediate hosts. That's why it's imperative to eliminate possible sources: fleas, mice, etc.
Parasitized cats suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. Parasites can also be found in feces. In this case, the cat must be checked by a veterinarian after treatment.

How do I use this dewormer?
Presented in film-coated tablet form, this dewormer is for oral use only. It is administered in a single dose, either directly into the animal's mouth, or mixed with its food.
Dosage ranges from ½ to 2 tablets, depending on the cat's body weight. The prescribed dose for a cat is 20 mg Pyrantel and 5 mg Praziquantel per kg, equivalent to 1 tablet for a 4 kg cat.
In kittens, the elimination of roundworm infestations may not be complete. These parasites may therefore be transmitted to humans. In this case, repeated treatments are required at 14-day intervals. This can be done up to 2-3 weeks after weaning.
