A tapeworm-only tablet for dogs and puppies four weeks and older, dosed by body weight from a printed table. It treats tapeworms and not other worms, so a dog with a mixed problem needs a different product.

Overview
Giving a tablet directly in the mouth or crumbling it into food is how Elanco's praziquantel dewormer is used. The label lists a dose table by body weight, and the pack holds five tablets.
A simple, fast-to-give tablet suits an owner who has confirmed tapeworms and wants a targeted treatment. The limitation is its narrow spectrum, because the style line says tapeworm dewormer only, so roundworms and other parasites are untouched.
Who it's for
A household whose vet or own observation points to tapeworms, with a dog large enough to fit the weight table. Very young puppies and dogs with other parasites are outside what the label describes.
Pros and cons
- Targets tapeworms specifically
- Given in mouth or food
- No fasting needed
- Weight-based dose table
- Not for puppies under four weeks
- Pack holds few tablets for large dogs
Performance notes
Praziquantel is the active drug, and the amount depends on the dog's weight, from a half tablet at the lowest weights to a maximum of five tablets. Fasting is neither necessary nor recommended, so the tablet can go with a normal meal.
