What Droncit tablets are formulated to do

Droncit Cat is formulated for cats and kittens at least 6 weeks old to kill intestinal tapeworms, specifically Dipylidium caninum and Taenia taeniaeformis, and some other parasite types. The active ingredient is praziquantel, and the product comes as an oral tablet in a 23 mg strength.

It is not a general dewormer for every parasite, and it is not for human consumption. If you are unsure which worm your cat has, your veterinarian can confirm before you treat.

Common questions about Droncit for cats

What strength and pack sizes does Droncit come in?

The available options are 23 mg tablets sold as 1 tablet, 5 tablets, or 10 tablets. Choose the count that matches the course your veterinarian recommends rather than guessing.

How is Droncit dosed for cats?

The supplied product information does not include a dosing table. It says to consult your veterinarian for proper dosage and course of treatment. Your vet sets the dose based on your cat's weight and health, so confirm it before giving the tablet.

Can I give Droncit to a kitten?

Only to kittens at least 6 weeks old. Do not use it in kittens younger than 6 weeks.

How do I give Droncit to my cat?

The tablet is oral and can be crushed, which the product lists as making administration easier. Ask your veterinarian whether crushing is appropriate for your cat's dose, and tell them about any other medications, vitamins, supplements, or herbal therapies your cat receives, because other drugs can interact with this medication.

What side effects should I watch for?

Droncit is generally tolerated well, but possible side effects include loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, and lack of energy. Contact your veterinarian if you believe your cat is experiencing side effects.

How should I store the tablets?

Store Droncit at less than or equal to 77°F.

What about preventing reinfection?

The product information recommends daily cleanup of stools to help prevent reinfection. Follow your veterinarian's advice on any follow-up treatment or flea control, since tapeworms can be tied to fleas.
