Profender 3kg 24 tablets

Profender is a veterinary medicine indicated for dogs suffering from, or at risk of, mixed parasitic infections caused by nematodes and tapeworms.

Active substances: emodepside 3mg and praziquantel 15mg.

In this medicine, emodepside is responsible for the effectiveness against Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala and Trichuris vulpis.

Praziquantel is a pyrazinoisoquinoline derivative effective against cestodes such as Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus. Praziquantel is quickly adsorbed via the surface of the parasites and acts mainly by altering the permeability of the parasite's membranes to calcium (Ca++).
