Composition of Drontal Puppies Oral Suspension 50ml

This oral antiparasitic is formulated with two active ingredients: pyrantel embonate and febantel. The combination of these compounds allows for a synergistic action against multiple species of intestinal parasites that commonly affect puppies. Pyrantel embonate acts as a neuromuscular agent that paralyzes the nematodes, facilitating their elimination. Febantel, for its part, interferes with the parasites' energy metabolism, causing their death.
