Is it possible?
Milprazone helps to paralyze the main muscle of the helminth, due to which the parasite easily passes through the intestines and is evacuated along with the feces. This medicine is used to treat diseases associated with helminthic infestations. The medication is designed specifically for the treatment of dogs of different breeds.
Puppies before vaccination
It is not recommended to give this medicine to puppies on the eve of vaccination. It is best to carry out deworming 2 weeks before vaccination. Otherwise, the pet’s body may react violently to the procedure, which will provoke undesirable reactions.
Contraindications and side effects
Milprazone is a low-toxic drug, but sometimes it should not be used. You should avoid using:
- in cases of kidney dysfunction;
- for liver diseases;
- in case of individual intolerance to the components.
It should not be used for weakened animals that have suffered a serious infectious disease, exacerbation of a chronic disease or surgical intervention. In addition, it is prohibited to give medication to puppies that are under 2 weeks old, as well as to animals weighing less than 500 g.
During pregnancy and lactation, the medication can be given under medical supervision. The veterinarian must assess all risks. You should not self-medicate. The drug should be taken with caution for representatives of the Collie, Sheltie and Bobtail breeds.
If the recommended doses are observed, Milprazone is well tolerated by animals. If the dose is exceeded, the following side effects may occur:
- muscle tremors;
- general depressed state;
- increased salivation;
- convulsions;
- nausea;
- diarrhea.
Usually, unpleasant symptoms go away on their own within a few days. In some cases, symptomatic treatment is required. If an overdose occurs, you should consult a doctor. Further use of the drug is discontinued.
The instructions do not contain information about the use of Milprazone for dogs in combination with other medications.
Instructions for use
Dosage by weight
For small breeds and puppies, it is recommended to purchase medications with a minimum dosage of the active ingredient. For dogs from 500 g to 1 kg, ½ tablet is provided. For pets weighing from 1 to 5 kg - 1 pc., and for animals from 5 to 10 kg the dose should be doubled.
For large dogs, you need to buy Milprazone for special purposes. If the pet weighs from 10 to 25 kg, then 1 tablet is provided for it. With a body weight from 25 to 50 kg - 2 pcs., and from 50 to 75 kg - 3 pcs.
How often is it needed?
For prevention, the medicine can be given once every 3 months. For therapeutic purposes, the medication is used only once. If necessary, the course can be repeated after a week.
How to give?
Milprasone is best given in the morning before feeding. The tablet smells like meat, so the pet often eats it without coercion.
If the dog refuses to take the medicine, then it should be placed on the root of the animal’s tongue. For such purposes, you can use a special tablet dispenser, which is sold in veterinary pharmacies. If this method is not suitable, then the medicine can be mixed with food, after crushing the tablet.
Composition and release form
It is produced in the form of tablets intended for oral use. The drug is available in two versions:
- oval tablets are intended for puppies and small breeds (up to 5 kg);
- round tablets are used for medium and large pets (over 5 kg).
The main difference is the concentration of active substances. Externally, the tablets are white-yellow in color. A distinctive characteristic is the presence of brown inclusions. The dividing strip greatly simplifies the division of tablets to measure the required dose. They are packaged in blisters of 2 or 4 pieces.
The destruction of round and flatworms, as well as their larvae and eggs, is ensured by the active components of the medication:
- praziquantel;
- Milbemycin oxime.
Also includes:
- povidone;
- colloidal silicon;
- microcrystalline cellulose;
- dry yeast;
- lactose monohydrate, etc.
One of the components is meat flavoring, which gives the medicine a pleasant smell and taste. Thanks to this, many pets eat it on their own.
Reviews
Veterinarians
Evgeniy, 43 years old, veterinarian, St. Petersburg:
“Milprazone should be given to dogs once a quarter to prevent helminthic infestations. I don’t recommend using it more often, because it can cause disturbances in the functioning of the digestive system and intoxication.”
Anzhelika, 32 years old, veterinarian Krasnodar:
“I use this medication in my practice. It is effective, easy to give, and can even be mixed with food if necessary. We should not forget to weigh the animal before starting treatment.”
Owners
Anna, 37 years old, Samara:
“I gave this medicine to the dog for prevention. Despite the fact that the medicine had a meat aroma, the pet refused to eat the pill. I had to grind the drug and add it to the food. I’m satisfied with the effect, it’s just a pity that it’s not possible to purchase the medicine in a more convenient form.”
Sergey, 24 years old, Yekaterinburg : “I periodically give my dog Milprazone to get rid of worms. I mix the tablet with food after preliminary crushing. I did not notice any side effects from the therapy. The dog feels good after taking the drug.”
Overdose
The owner must strictly control the process of taking the drug, because if the animal receives too large a dose, it may develop complications. An overdose of Milprazone may cause problems with the general condition of the animal: depressed appearance, apathy, lethargy, poor appetite. Over time, the intensity of salivation increases, tremors in the body, muscle paresis, and unsteady gait appear. Side effects include vomiting and diarrhea. If you stop the drug, all the unpleasant signs will disappear within 24 hours, but it is better not to risk it and show your pet to a veterinarian. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe medications for symptomatic therapy.
