Dehinel is indicated for the treatment of mixed nematode and tapeworm infections in cats, caused by adult stages of ascarids: Toxocara cati (syn. mystax) ; adult stages of hookworms: Ancylostoma tubaeforme, Ancylostoma brasiliense ; cestodes: Echinococcus multilocularis, Dipylidium caninum, Hydatigera (Taenia) taeniaeformis, Mesocestoides spp., Joyeuxiella pasqualei.

Active substances: Pyrantel embonate 230 mg (equivalent to 80 mg of pyrantel) and Praziquantel 20 mg.

Praziquantel acts against tapeworms and its spectrum of action covers tapeworm species in cats, namely species of Hydatigera (Taenia) taeniaeformis, Joyeuxiella pasqualei., Dipylidium caninum, Mesocestoides spp. and Echinococcus multilocularis. Praziquantel acts against all stages of these parasites in the cat's intestine.

Pyrantel constitutes the specific component against nematodes and shows good efficacy against cat nematodes, in particular Toxocara cati (syn. mystax), Ancylostoma tubaeformae and Ancylostoma braziliense. Pyrantel acts as a cholinergic agonist, with an action similar to that of nicotine, and causes spastic paralysis of nematodes through a depolarizing neuromuscular blockade.

Dosage and route of administration:

5 mg of praziquantel and 20 mg pyrantel base (57.5 mg of pyrantel embonate) per kg of body weight, which correspond to 1 tablet per 4 kg of body weight. The tablets can be administered directly to the cat or, if necessary, mixed with a small amount of food. Kittens weighing less than 1 kg should not be treated with the product as the correct dosage for these kittens may not be possible.
