How do Droncit Tablets for Dogs and Cats work?

The active ingredient in Droncit Tablets for Dogs and Cats is praziquantel, which works to kill adult tapeworms. When the substance is metabolised by the liver, it works its way to the tapeworms and stops them from feeding off the food being digested by your pet. 

Once the tapeworms have been stopped from feeding, they then starve and die. Tapeworms that have been killed are then passed through your pet’s stool, although they may have been destroyed by the digestive system and therefore you might not notice them.

The treatment gets to work quickly and begins killing tapeworms around 2-6 hours after administering the medicine.
