Fenbendazole powder is a fast acting, highly effective treatment for freshwater and saltwater tropical fish. It is a 100% medication and contains no fillers like most competing brands that lessen the effectiveness of treatment. Fenbendazole is a great alternative to levamisole, as resistance has developed to that product. It can be dosed directly into the water column or mixed with foods. This is a very fast acting medication with results typically seen within an hour of treatment. It is a very easy to use product that does not require changing out the filters as with many other products.
Giardia is a microscopic parasite that can live in the digestive tract of animals and humans. It can cause diarrhea, and can also be transmitted to other pets and even people. This is a disease that can be fatal for very young, very old or compromised animals. Your veterinarian may prescribe a course of Panacur to treat giardia in your pet. It is very important to follow your veterinarian’s instructions exactly, as giardia can be easily passed from one animal to another, and also from human to human.
Panacur is a granule that can be administered orally to your pet. This can be mixed with their regular food, both wet and dry, making it easy to administer. It is used to treat and control hookworms, roundworms, Taenia tapeworms, whipworms, and other intestinal parasites. It is commonly prescribed to dogs, and can be used off-label in cats as well. It is a powerful broad spectrum dewormer, and is especially useful in the treatment of large worm loads.
It does not treat all types of intestinal parasites, however. It is not effective against the flea-spreading taenia tapeworm, and other medications are required to kill that specific parasite. However, it is an effective dewormer for the most common intestinal parasites in puppies and adult dogs. It is typically given by mouth for 3 days, and then repeated according to a schedule established by your veterinarian.
It is important to discuss all of your pet’s medications with your veterinarian, including vitamins, supplements, herbs, and other over the counter treatments. This will help them determine if your pet has any potential drug interactions with the Panacur granules.
Panacur is a safe medication with few side effects, when administered according to your veterinarian’s instructions. In rare cases, higher than recommended doses of fenbendazole can lead to a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. Signs of anaphylaxis include hives, facial swelling, difficulty breathing, and collapse. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your veterinarian or a pet poison control center immediately. If you cannot reach a veterinarian, contact your local emergency vet clinic for advice and treatment options.
