Overview

A praziquantel tablet dewormer from Elanco for dogs and puppies 4 weeks and older, sold as a 5 tablet pack, dosed by body weight.

This is a single active ingredient tapeworm treatment, not a broad spectrum dewormer, so it targets tapeworms specifically. Dosing is weight based rather than one tablet per dog, and the listing states fasting beforehand is neither necessary nor recommended.
