Single Dose Tapeworm Treatment for Dogs and Cats

Product Description

Cestex tablets contain epsiprantel, an FDA-approved anthelmintic indicated for the removal of specific tapeworms in cats and dogs. Administered as a single oral dose, it acts directly within the gastrointestinal tract and is minimally absorbed systemically. Fasting is not required before dosing, making administration convenient when used under veterinary supervision.

Benefits

  • Single Dose Therapy: Effective against labeled feline and canine tapeworm species with one recommended oral dose.
  • Targeted GI Action: Minimally absorbed after administration, remaining active within the gastrointestinal tract.
  • No Fasting Needed: Fasting is not necessary or recommended prior to tablet administration.
  • Wide Safety Margin: Evaluated at multiples of recommended doses with no significant adverse effects reported.
  • Multiple Strength Options: Available in four tablet strengths to support accurate weight-based dosing.

Variants

Cestex tablets are available in 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg strengths.
