The recommended dosage of praziquantel varies according to body weight. Smaller animals require a relatively larger dosage because of their higher metabolic rate.

It is not necessary to fast animals prior to administration of Generic 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.
