How Drontal Plus Tablet works
Praziquantel damages the outer surface of tapeworms, making them unable to survive and allowing the body to digest them naturally. Pyrantel pamoate paralyzes roundworms and hookworms by affecting their nerve and muscle cells, helping the body expel them through normal bowel movement. Febantel is converted inside the body into a compound that blocks the worms’ energy metabolism, starving and killing them, particularly whipworms. Together, these actions provide broad and effective control against multiple types of intestinal worms, helping pets recover quickly and stay healthy.
