What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Drontal Cat Allwormer is a veterinary medication specifically formulated to eradicate a wide range of intestinal parasites that are often found in cats. Its distinctiveness lies in its dual-action formula, which combines the power of two active ingredients: praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate.

Praziquantel targets tapeworms by disrupting their ability to absorb nutrients, leading to paralysis and eventual expulsion from the cat's body. Pyrantel pamoate acts against roundworms and hookworms by causing muscle paralysis, allowing them to be expelled through the digestive system. Drontal Cat Allwormer is available in tablet form and is administered orally to cats.

Directions

Drontal Cat Allwormer tablets are typically administered as a single dose, depending on the cat's weight and the type of parasite being targeted. The tablets can be given directly to the cat or crushed and mixed with food for easier administration.

To effectively eliminate all intestinal parasites, it is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the veterinarian and ensure that the entire course of treatment is completed.
