WARNINGS
Parasite resistance to any class of anthelmintics may develop after frequent and repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class. In order to achieve effective parasite control, treatment should be carried out based on the results of the parasitological examination of the stool. In debilitated or heavily infested animals, the product should only be used after a benefit / risk assessment. Digestive bleeding (diarrhea, bloody stools) can result from treatment with anthelmintics in case of heavy infestations. The active ingredient is not known to cause particular adverse reactions in young animals. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the product to animals: in case of ingestion or spilling on the skin, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label. Wear gloves to administer the product. In case of accidental contact, wash your hands thoroughly. People with known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.

INTERACTIONS
In particularly debilitated subjects the concomitant administration of the product associated with other cholinergic drugs could accentuate the nicotine-like effects of Pyrantel, enhancing its toxicity. Do not use simultaneously with piperazine, as the anthelmintic effects of pyrantel can be counteracted by piperazine.

SIDE EFFECTS
The most frequently observed side effects are correlated with the gastrointestinal system, in particular: anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea. In severely debilitated subjects the nicotinic effects of pyrantel are more pronounced.

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING
It is well tolerated during all stages of pregnancy and lactation as well as weaning.
