Composition of CARDOTEK-30 PLUS 68 Blue up to 11 Kg

This chewable antiparasitic contains two active ingredients: ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate. Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone effective against Dirofilaria immitis (heartworm) larvae, while pyrantel pamoate acts as an effective anthelmintic against gastrointestinal nematodes such as roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala).

Therapeutic indications

CARDOTEK-30 PLUS 68 is indicated for the prevention of canine heartworm disease by eliminating Dirofilaria immitis larvae in their tissue stages. It also treats and controls infections caused by intestinal nematodes, being especially effective against roundworm and hookworm infestations, thus contributing to the overall intestinal and general health of the dog.

Format and administration

This product comes in the form of chewable tablets with an appealing flavor for easy administration. Each box contains 6 tablets, equivalent to 6 monthly doses. It is specifically formulated for dogs weighing up to 11 kg. One tablet should be administered monthly, preferably on the same day each month, as part of a year-round preventative deworming program.

Mechanism of action

Ivermectin works by stimulating the release of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the nervous system of the parasites, causing paralysis and death of Dirofilaria larvae. Pyrantel pamoate acts as a cholinergic agonist, causing spastic paralysis in intestinal nematodes, which allows their expulsion from the animal's digestive tract.

Safety and tolerance

CARDOTEK-30 PLUS 68 has been shown to be safe in dogs from 6 weeks of age, including sensitive breeds such as the Collie. Its chewable and palatable formulation promotes acceptance by the animal, minimizing the stress associated with medication administration. No significant adverse effects have been reported when administered according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
