Description

TermaWorm™ Tablets for Cats & Dogs are our own brand worming tablets, intended for the treatment of all common roundworm and tapeworm found in the UK.

They contain the same ingredients (Praziquantel, Pyrantel/Pyrantel Embonate, Febantel) as the leading brands.

TermaWorm Tablets for Cats and Kittens 230/20 mg

ACTIVE SUBSTANCE(S) )

Each film-coated tablet contains Pyrantel embonate 230 mg and Praziquantel 20 mg.

INDICATION(S)

For the treatment of mixed infections caused by the following gastrointestinal roundworms and tapeworms:

Roundworms: Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina,

Tapeworms: Dipylidium caninum, Taenia taeniaeformis, Echinococcus multilocularis.

DOSAGE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

Do not use in kittens less than 6 weeks of age.

The recommended dose is: 20 mg/kg pyrantel (57.5 mg/kg pyrantel embonate) and 5 mg/kg praziquantel. This is equivalent to 1 tablet per 4 kg bodyweight.

Administration and duration of treatment

Single oral administration. The tablet should be given directly to the cat, but if necessary can be disguised in food. Wash hands after use.

In ascarid infestation, especially in kittens, complete elimination cannot be expected, so a risk of infection for humans can persist. Repeat treatments should, therefore, be carried out with a suitable roundworm product at 14 day intervals until 2-3 weeks fter weaning.

To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible

SPECIAL WARNING(S)

Do not use during pregnancy but may be used during lactation.

After doses higher than 5 times the recommended dose, signs of intolerance such as vomiting have been observed.

Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one common type of tapeworm – Dipylidium caninum. Tapeworm infestation is certain to reoccur unless control of intermediate hosts such as fleas, mice, etc. is undertaken.

The advice of a veterinarian should be sought regarding the need for and the frequency of repeat administration.

To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

In very rare cases slight and transient digestive tract disorders such as vomiting and /or diarrhoea may occur.
In individual cases these signs can be accompanied by nonspecific signs such as lethargy, anorexia or hyperactivity.

The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- Very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s)).
- Common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated).
- Uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated).
- Rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated).
- Very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
If you notice any serious effects or other effects not mentioned in this leaflet, please inform your veterinary surgeon.

SPECIAL WARNING(S)

Do not use simultaneously with piperazine compounds as the anthelmintic effects of pyrantel and piperazine may be antagonized.

Concurrent use with other cholinergic compounds (e.g.foxim) can lead to toxicity.

If you are uncertain, and your dog uses other veterinary medicinal products,check with a veterinary surgeon or pharmacist.

Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one common type of tapeworm – Dipylidium caninum.

Tapeworm infestation is certain to re-occur unless control of intermediate hosts such as fleas, mice etc. is undertaken.

Tapeworm infestation is unlikely in pups less than 6 weeks of age.

Teratogenic effects attributed to high doses of febantel have been reported in sheep and rats. No studies have been performed in dogs during early pregnancy. Use of the product during pregnancy should be in accordance with a benefit risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian. It is recommended that the product is not used in dogs during the first 4 weeks of pregnancy. Do not exceed the stated dose when treating pregnant bitches.

Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelmintic may develop following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.

Overdose:

The combination of praziquantel, pyrantel embonate and febantel is well tolerated in dogs. In safety studies, a single dose of 5 times the recommended dose or greater gave rise to occasional vomiting.

The recommended dose is: 20 mg/kg pyrantel (57.5 mg/kg pyrantel embonate) and 5 mg/kg praziquantel. This is equivalent to 1 tablet per 4 kg bodyweight.

Does termaworm protect dogs against ticks?

Hilary Silverman

  • VioVet customer since 2017
  • From: West Sussex, United Kingdom

Does Termaworm protect dogs against ticks?

  • VioVet Staff

Hello,

This item is intended for the treatment of all common roundworm and tapeworm found in the UK. Unfortunately, this is not a flea treatment. VioVets TermaFlea would address flea and ticks.

I hope this helps.

Dosage for a kitten

Georgia

What’s the dosage for a kitten 0.5kg-1kg?

Thanks.

  • VioVet Staff

Do not use in kittens less than 6 weeks of age. Kitten between 1.0 - 2.0 kg you will need to give ½ tablet

How often

Ally Searl

  • VioVet customer since 2013
  • From: Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom

How often does my dog need this treatment

  • VioVet Staff

Standard worming for an adult pet is usually advised every 3 months. If your pet is a known hunter/scavenger or eats raw meat and is around immunocompromised individuals (e.g. the young or elderly) then you may wish to worm monthly as a precaution.

Should cat be allowed in

John

I live on a small holding so my cat spends most if the time outside..how long will it take for the treatment to work so I can let him back in ...he's meowing at the window!!!

  • VioVet Staff

There is no reason to not allow your cat indoors after dosing. You may see some worms in the faeces if they had a worm burden, but if litter trained this should not be an issue.

11 March 2023 at 4:31pm

How often

Pam Bell

It gives the disagreement but not the frequency?

  • VioVet Staff

Standard worming for an adult pet is usually advised every 3 months. If your pet is a known hunter/scavenger or eats raw meat and is around immunocompromised individuals (e.g. the young or elderly) then you may wish to worm monthly as a precaution.

Teacup yorkie terrier

April

Would this be suitable for a very small yorkie terrier

  • VioVet Staff

This depends on the weight and age of your dog. TermaWorm is safe to use in dogs 0.5kg or over and 6 weeks or older.

Repeat administration - resistancy?

Vicky Fraser

  • VioVet customer since 2017
  • From: Newport, United Kingdom

Is it ok to repeat this wormer every 3 months or can resistance be built up and you therefore need to alternate wormers?

  • VioVet Staff

Wormer resistance is fortunately currently not a significant issue in dogs and cats, it is more of an equine or farm animal problem. This is because dogs and cats are unlikely to come accross the exact same worms in the exact same location like a grazing animal would. Worm eggs that are encountered will be found sporadically and from a large variety of different animals, mainly through faeces.
Horses and farm animals graze on the same patch of land for hours at a time every day and so will ingest the same worms repeatedly. Resistance to wormers occurs when the same worm eggs are ingested and the same resulting worms are treated multiple times with the same product.

I hope this makes sense. If you would like further information or have any questions then please get in touch at [email protected].

Suitable for puppy?

Ryan

Hello,

Is this suitable for a 10week old puppy weighing 1.2kg?

Thanks

  • VioVet Staff

Yes this is safe for use in a 10 week old 1.2kg puppy. Your pup will need one quarter of a tablet.
