Cestem flavor for small and medium dogs, 104 tablets

Composition and active ingredients

Cestem Flavor for Small and Medium Dogs 104 Tablets contains a synergistic combination of three active ingredients: febantel (150 mg), pyrantel embonate (50 mg), and praziquantel (50 mg) per tablet. This formula has been designed to ensure complete anthelmintic action against nematodes and cestodes in small and medium-sized dogs.

Mechanism of action

Praziquantel acts specifically against cestodes (tapeworms), being rapidly absorbed through the parasite's tegument. Its action causes lesions in the external structure, paralysis, and subsequent elimination of the parasite.

Pyrantel embonate acts on nematodes as a cholinergic agonist. This induces spastic paralysis in the worms, facilitating their expulsion through intestinal peristalsis.

Febantel complements the action of pyrantel by inhibiting the polymerization of tubulin into microtubules, which interferes with vital processes of the helminth, causing its death by energy exhaustion within 2 to 3 days.

Therapeutic indications

This antiparasitic is indicated for the treatment of mixed infestations by gastrointestinal nematodes (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Trichuris vulpis) and cestodes (Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., Echinococcus granulosus, E. multilocularis, Mesocestoides spp.) in small and medium-sized dogs.

Administration and presentation method

Cestem is administered orally. The tablets are divisible, allowing the dosage to be adjusted to the animal's needs based on its body weight. The 104-tablet package is ideal for veterinary clinics or breeders who manage multiple treatments.

Key benefits

• Broad spectrum of action against common internal parasites in dogs.
• Easy administration thanks to its palatable flavor and divisible shape.
• High efficacy with an excellent safety profile in dogs of different ages and sizes.
