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.
Each film-coated tablet contains Pyrantel embonate 230 mg and Praziquantel 20 mg.
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.
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.
Body weight | tablets |
1.0 - 2.0 kg | ½ |
2.1 - 4.0 kg | 1 |
4.1 - 6.0 kg | 1 ½ |
6.1 - 8.0 kg | 2 |
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
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.

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.
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.

Since forever I have had problem to serve tabletes to one of my cats and he was always mad at me for that. But this one- no problem to give with food as it's small and coated so he can't taste it. For me this product is a great discovery!

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding TermaWorm™ Tablets for Cats & Dogs, including answers from our team.
Sylvie Marks
Does it also cover them for heart worm?
TermaWorm does not prevent against heartworm, only prescription wormers will cover this. It is best to ask your vet for a written prescription for a product that will do this. You can then use this to purchase it through our website.
Tania
I’m sure I read that these tablets need to be given every 3 months. Is this correct?
Yes, every 3 months is recommended for standard routine worming. If your pet is a known scavenger/hunter and around vulnerable individuals (e.g. elderly, young or immunocompromised people) then you may want to worm monthly as a precaution.
Lorna Richardson
I give my Jackawawa a 50mg Droncit tablet every 6 months as advised by my vet. Is Termaworm the equivalent of this? Use by dates? If I order in advance. Thank you.
TermaWorm contains the same ingredient as Droncit (Praziquantel) to treat tapeworm, but it also contains Pyrantel and Febantel to treat roundworms. If you are already using a roundwormer then you will be doubling up on this. However if you are not then it is advised to use a roundwormer so TermaWorm is a great choice.
The expiry date of TermaWorm can be found in the medication title in the drop down menu in brackets.
Andrzej Malinowski
Are these tablets safe for the German Shepherd, as some of the tablets are not suitable for this breed of dogs
I can confirm these tablets are safe for German Shepherds Dog. You might be thinking of ivermectin wormers being an issue for some breeds of Sheep Dog (Collies)? You should not need to worry about which wormer to give your German Shepherd.
Wendy
How long can you store an opened unused portion of tablet from a tablet that has been split?
The datasheet for this product states the following:
Discard any unused divided tablets immediately.
Allison
Would I give 1.5 tablet for a dog weighing 13.5kg or just 1 tablet?
Yes, the TermaWorm normal sized tablets for dogs are dosed at 1 tablet per 10kg. So your 13.5kg dog will need 1+1/2 tablets.
Helen Johnston
Hi I usually use Nexgard Spectra monthly with Milbemax every 3 month to control flea and worms. Does this product do the equivalent job as Milbemax? Can replace Milbemax ?
Thanks
NexGard Spectra will cover fleas, mites, lice, ticks and roundworm including lungworm. All you need is to cover tapeworms alongside this. TermaWorm will cover roundworms and tapeworms and so is a good choice. It is advised to dose them a few weeks apart as you will be doubling the roundworm doseage.
NexGard Spectra and Milbemax share the exact same roundworming ingredient (milbemcyin) and so using both together is counter productive.
Avrik
Can you use this wormer on a 7 week old puppie
As long as your pup is weaned and over 0.5kg then yes TermaWorm is safe for use in a 7 week old puppy. Please ensure you follow the datasheet closely regarding doseage.
Kathleen
Can I give TermaWorm to a pregnant dog and if not, what would be suitable?
The datasheet for this medication states the following:
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.
It is therefore only advised to use this product in a pregnant bitch if under advice from your vet.
If you are looking for a wormer for your pregnant bitch then I advise Panacur Liquid Wormer. This has a specific dose for pregnant dogs, see the datsheet for this. if you would like more specific advice then please contact us at [email protected].
K Mortley
Is this product effective against Hookworm Ancylostoma caninum ? For a 10.5kg dog, what would be the dosage and how often and for how long? Thanks for your help.
Yes TermaWorm is effective against hookworm. Your 10.5kg dog will need 1+1/2 x TermaWorm normal sized tablets as one tablet treats up to 10kg. It is advised to worm an adult dog every 3 months as standard. If your dog is a known scavenger or is around young children, the elderly or immunocompromised individuals then increasing to monthly worming may be safest.
Lifelong repeat worming is recommended as your dog will come into contact with wormers in the environment.
