Pyrantel / Praziquantel Viatris Vermifuge Cat 2 tablets

What is the purpose of Viatris Pyrantel / Praziquantel cat dewormer?

Viatris Pyrantel / Praziquantel is a cat dewormer designed to treat the most common internal parasitic infestations. It targets the intestinal worms that cats catch both indoors and outdoors, sometimes with no visible signs at first. By acting directly in the digestive tract, this treatment helps preserve your pet's intestinal comfort and general health.

This veterinary medicine combines two complementary active ingredients. Pyrantel acts primarily on roundworms, while praziquantel targets tapeworms. Together, they cover a broad spectrum of parasites such as Toxocara cati, Ancylostoma tubaeforme and Dipylidium caninum, often transmitted by fleas.

This combination can be compared to a well-coordinated team: each molecule has its precise role. Pyrantel immobilizes roundworms, enabling their natural elimination by the body. Praziquantel, on the other hand, weakens the walls of flatworms, leading to their rapid destruction. This dual action limits the persistence of parasites in the intestine.

By eliminating these undesirable hosts, deworming helps reduce frequent symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. It not onlyrestores digestive comfort, but also prevents weight loss and a dull coat. A parasite-free cat is better able to assimilate nutrients from its diet, and regains vitality and appetite more easily.

Presented in the form of divisible tablets, Pyrantel / Praziquantel Viatris adapts to the cat's weight, whether adult or sufficiently developed kitten. This format facilitates precise dosage, without the need for multiple doses. Regular deworming of your cat also means protecting your home.

Some intestinal parasites can be transmitted to humans. As part of an overall approach, you can alternate with Strantel Cat Worming Tablets to reinforce prevention during recommended worming programs.

Expert advice

In pharmacy practice, one point often makes all the difference: synchronizing deworming with flea treatment. Flatworms such as Dipylidium caninum use the flea as an intermediary. Treating cats without managing fleas leaves the door open to reinfestation. Combining an effective dewormer with appropriate external protection significantly improves long-term results.

FAQ

Frequency depends on lifestyle. An indoor cat generally needs to be dewormed twice a year, while a cat with access to the outdoors requires more regular treatment, according to veterinary advice.

Is this dewormer suitable for indoor cats?
