Inexpensive worm treatment
From TexasComments about Virbantel (pyrantel pamoate/praziquantel)I needed to deworm all 5 of my dogs without having to incur vet bills. I know what tapeworms look like, so I didn't need a diagnosis, only the treatment. This product got rid of the tapeworms for a reasonable price and quick delivery. I will probably buy this product on a regular basis, because worms tend to come back.

how long should it take to kill the worm (tapeworm)... when should I stop seeing them in the stool??
-
According to the product label re-treatment of your dog may be necessary as determined by laboratory fecal examination and/or if your dog is living where re-infections are likely to occur. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis and prevention of re-infection. In case of re-infection with tapeworms (Dipylidium caninum), consult your veterinarian for advice on how to remove fleas from the dog and the environment. Please consult your veterinarian regarding any further questions or concerns regarding the Virbantel (pyrantel pamoate/praziquantel).

Do I need a prescription for virbac? I have a small kennel. Can I buy a whole bottle vs per pill? If so, what is the cost for the 114mg bottle??
-
Susan, The Virbantel does not require a prescription. It is priced per tablet so you can buy 50 tablets that come in a bottle but it would still be sold per tablet. The 114mg tablets are $8.99 per tablet so for the bottle of 50, it would be roughly $450. Thank you, VetRxDirect

I gave my 17 pound Boston Terrier one dose on 3/22 for roundworms. She is now exhibiting the same symptoms again, although I took her to the vet and they said there were no eggs in her stool. Should I redose her??
-
Mega, Virbantel is an over-the-counter medication that is effective in treatment and control of roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. Re-treatment may be necessary as determined by laboratory fecal examination or if you dog is in an area where reinfection is likely to occur. In this case, your veterinarian did not receive a positive test, but if symptoms continue you should follow-up with your pet's veterinary clinic. For guidance and usage on Virbantel please contact your veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Manufacturer states the medication is used for worm control in dogs. The manufacturer does not state dosing for use in cats. However, there have been cases of this medication being used in cats and veterinarians may prescribe this for off-label usage in cats. Contact your cat’s veterinarian for further assistance regarding use and dosage. 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.

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
