How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Pyrantel 180 mg/ml Oral Gel (Vet) is a specialized, gel-like formulation designed for oral administration in animals. This unique formulation is dispensed in a tube, ensuring a smooth and easy-to-apply consistency that is well tolerated by animals. It is specifically engineered to provide targeted relief from parasitic infections such as roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms.

The active ingredient, Pyrantel, works by paralyzing the parasites, which are then naturally expelled from the animal's body through feces. This mechanism of action does not kill the parasites, but rather immobilizes them, making it easier for the animal's body to eliminate them. Therefore, it is crucial to follow up with a deworming medication to ensure complete eradication of the parasites.

The recommended dosage of Pyrantel 180 mg/ml Oral Gel (Vet) is 0.5 ml per 10 lbs of body weight. This dosage should be administered orally once a day for three consecutive days. The gel formulation allows for direct delivery of the medication to the affected areas, providing localized treatment and improved oral health for the animal.

It is important to note that Pyrantel 180 mg/ml Oral Gel (Vet) is specifically designed to treat parasitic infections in animals and should not be used for other oral conditions such as mouth ulcers, gum inflammation, or tooth sensitivity.
