Oriheal Pet Dee Wom-C Deworming Tablets for Cats

For veterinary use. Administer as directed by a licensed veterinarian. Do not use in pregnant cats. Not for use in kittens under 6 weeks of age. Do not use simultaneously with piperazine compounds. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Weigh your cat before dosing. Dewormers are dosed by body weight, and underdosing is the commonest reason a worming treatment appears not to work. Roundworms can infect people, particularly children, so wash hands after handling your cat, its litter tray, or its faeces, and scoop the tray daily. Seeing worms in the stool for a day or two after dosing is normal. Contact your veterinarian if your cat becomes dull, vomits repeatedly, or has a very distended belly after treatment, which can happen when a heavy worm burden dies at once. This is a cat product — do not give a dog dewormer to a cat, and do not give this to a dog, as species doses differ. Keep up the flea control: the commonest tapeworm is carried by fleas and a cat that grooms off an infected flea will reinfect itself, so treating tapeworm without treating fleas simply restarts the cycle. Hunting cats and cats that go outdoors need worming more often than indoor cats — ask your veterinarian what interval suits yours.

Oriheal Pet Dee Wom-C Deworming Tablets for Cats

Oriheal Pet Dee Wom-C is a palatable broad-spectrum veterinary deworming tablet for cats, combining Praziquantel 20mg and Pyrantel Pamoate 230mg per tablet. Praziquantel is a cestocidal agent effective against tapeworms; Pyrantel Pamoate is a nematocidal agent effective against roundworms and hookworms. Together they cover the major gastrointestinal worms of cats in a single palatable tablet. Worming matters more in cats than many owners assume: kittens commonly acquire roundworms through the queen's milk, and any cat that hunts, roams, or carries the occasional flea is continually re-exposed, usually without a single visible symptom until the burden is heavy. Administer as directed by a licensed veterinarian.

Composition

• Praziquantel — 20mg per tablet: Synthetic acylated isoquinoline-pyrazine cestocidal anthelmintic; mechanism of action — increases cell membrane permeability to calcium ions in cestodes (tapeworms), causing tegumental muscle spasm, paralysis, and death of the parasite; highly effective against Dipylidium caninum (flea tapeworm) and Taenia taeniaeformis; absorbed orally and distributed systemically
• Pyrantel Pamoate — 230mg per tablet: Tetrahydropyrimidine nematocidal anthelmintic; mechanism of action — depolarising neuromuscular blocking agent; acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist causing spastic paralysis of nematodes (roundworms and hookworms); poorly absorbed from the GI tract, acts locally in the intestinal lumen; effective against Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina, Ancylostoma tubaeforme, Ancylostoma braziliense, and Uncinaria stenocephala

Safety Information

• For veterinary use only — administer under veterinary guidance
• Dipylidium caninum (flea tapeworm) re-infection occurs through ingestion of infected flea larvae during grooming; concurrent flea control is essential to prevent re-infection after deworming
• Toxocara cati is a zoonotic parasite — maintain hygiene when handling cats, litter trays, and faeces; wash hands thoroughly
• Regular deworming schedules should be maintained as directed by a veterinarian based on the cat's lifestyle, hunting behaviour, and flea exposure risk
• Discontinue if an adverse reaction is observed and consult a veterinarian
• Keep out of reach of children; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
