Banminth worming paste dog 24 grams

Banminth worming paste 24 g is suitable for the treatment of worm infections in dogs caused by threadworms and hookworms. The paste paralyzes the muscle cells of the worms so that they are no longer able to maintain in the stomach or intestine and will be extruded by the host.

The active ingredient in Banminth is pyrantel (7,5 mg per gram of paste). Pyrantel is relatively insoluble and is only slightly absorbed from the intestine into the body. The  operation is limited to the parasites which are present in the intestine. The small amount of pyrantel that has been included in the body of the animal will be rapidly broken down and is non-toxic.

Dosage: administer one-off 5 mg pyrantel per kg body weight. This is equivalent to 2 grams of paste  from the tube. See also the size calibration on the box. The content of one tube of 24 grams is enough for 36 kg body weight.

Banminth paste is for oral administration and can be mixed with food or directly be administrated to the dog with the aid of a finger, spatula or spoon. Fasting is not necessary.
