Get Rid Of Allergies !
From UndisclosedComments about Virbantel (pyrantel pamoate/praziquantel)This is THE best shampoo for dogs with allergies, and I have tried them all! I always do a double bath and use a rubber pronged scrubber in a circular motion. Great results every time. It should be noted that some dogs can require in addition, an allergy shot every six weeks depending upon the severity. -

Q & A

I bought this for my cats. It hasn't come it yet, but I see now that it says for dogs. Can I still give this to my cats for tapeworms??
-
Virbantel (active ingredients praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate) is used for both cats and dogs to kill tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms. It can be given with or without food, in one treatment, though the manufacturer recommends a second treatment in 2 to 4 weeks if re-infection is likely. It is also best to treat all pets in an environment to help prevent re-infection. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My vet prescribed virbantel 30mg for my cat (1 pill now and another in 3 weeks). I would like to know if this also works on cats!?
-
Barbara, Virbantel includes the two drugs, pyrantel pamoate and praziquantel. The brand name Virbantel product is marketed by the manufacturer for dogs only, however both of the drugs individually or in combination with other drugs can be used in cats and are effective for deworming treatment. Thank you, VetRxDirect

could heart guard and verbantel given within a couple of days of each other cause poisoning or severe liver reaction?
-
Barbara, Virbantel and Heartgard Plus are generally safe and would not cause poisoning separately or together. Both products contain pyrantel, which has a very wide margin of safety. Heartgard also contains ivermectin which is very safe. Virbantel also contains praziquantel which is also very safe. It is always a good idea to separate treatments like these by several days or weeks if possible. Any medicine can cause idiosyncratic (rare) reactions. Ask your pet's veterinarian about other questions regarding these medications. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Do I need a prescription from my vet in order to purchase Virbantel from you??
-
Tommy, Because Virbantel is not labeled as a prescription drug, authorization is not needed to purchase Virbantel. But, it is very important to consult your pet's veterinarian for assistance in diagnosing and preventing infections of intestinal worms. For example, to prevent infection with tapeworms, fleas must to be removed from the pet and environment. Thank you, VetRxDirect
