Each tablet contains 23 mg praziquantel.

Dosage and Administration

Droncit Feline Cestocide Tablets may be administered directly into the mouth or crumbled and mixed with the feed. The recommended dosage of praziquantel varies according to body weight. Smaller animals require a relatively larger dosage because of their higher metabolic rate. The optimum dose for each individual animal will be achieved by utilizing the following dosage schedule: cats and kittens 4lbs and under: 1/2 a tablet; cats 5-11lbs: 1 tablet; cats over 11lbs:1 1/2 tablets.The recommended dosage of praziquantel is not affected by the presence or absence of food in the gastrointestinal tract. It is not necessary to fast animals prior to administration of Droncit

For those animals maintained on premises where reinfections are likely to occur, steps should be taken to prevent reinfection; otherwise, retreatment may be necessary. In flea tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum) infections, reinfection is almost certain to occur if fleas are not removed from the animal and its environment.
