What does synergy actually mean for worm control? The combined effect of pyrantel and febantel on hookworms and roundworms is greater than the sum of their individual effects on these worms. This powerful, double-barrelled approach minimises the chance of less susceptible worms surviving treatment compared to single active or non-synergistic wormers.
Drontal®– the established allwormer developed in Australia,
and trusted worldwide by pet owners.
Watch out!
Not all wormers kill every
hookworm species. Drontal® is highly effective against
all 4 species. Adapted from Palmer CS et al. 2007 and Taveros AA, 199012,13.
This worm attaches to the wall of the human intestine, feeds on blood and produces eggs. It causes abdominal pain, diarrhoea
and anaemia. Most wormers don’t control this parasite.
Ancylostoma ceylanicum is an emerging public health risk18!
Ancylostoma ceylanicum was found in >10% of
hookworm-positive dogs in Australia12.
RESULTSWithin 3 days of treatment, no
eggs were detected in the faeces of Drontal®-treated dogs.
Drontal® has 100% efficacy
against A. ceylanicum19.

Drontal® effectively kills both roundworm species found in Australian dogs –
Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina.
In high-risk areas for whipworm, dogs should be treated every 6-8 weeks with Drontal® - check with your vet.
Whipworms have been found in 13% of Australian mainland dogs, with even higher rates in farm dogs from Tasmania and NSW15.
Drontal® is 95% effective
against whipworm infestations20.
Whipworm eggs can survive in the environment for years. Keep dogs protected with Drontal®.

Drontal® Allwormer is a broad spectrum wormer that safely and effectively removes 100% of tapeworms, including the hydatid tapeworm.
Reducing the exposure of dogs to tapeworms is important to reduce the zoonotic risk to human health. Dogs should:
• Be dewormed regularly
• Receive regular flea treatments
• NOT be fed/allowed to feed on raw offal or carcassesHydatid tapeworm
(Echinococcus granulosus).
Roundworms (T. canis) inside a dog’s small intestine (cut open).
Dogs with intestinal parasite infections are often asymptomatic, meaning they can be contaminating their environment, and putting other animals and humans at risk! Drontal® reduces the risk of zoonotic infections by killing all the important worms and reducing egg shedding by dogs.
Zoonotic Potential Most people are unaware that they can become infected
with intestinal parasites found in dogs!
Following ingestion of eggs, larvae hatch
then migrate throughout the body,
causing organ damage (e.g. blindness,
respiratory failure).
ROUNDWORMThe most important species, the hydatid
tapeworm, forms cysts in various organs, causing
damage and dysfunction. Can be fatal.
TAPEWORMFollowing ingestion
of cysts, humans develop watery
diarrhoea, abdominal cramps,
vomiting, dehydration and
weight loss.
GIARDIALarvae penetrate and migrate through the skin causing itchy migration tracts. Two species reach the intestines following ingestion or larval penetration,
one causing intestinal inflammation and the other
maturing and laying eggs.
HOOKWORM
*Treatment should only commence following diagnosis by a veterinarian.
Drontal® Allwormer is proven to reduce Giardia spp. cyst shedding in dogs when given on 3 consecutive days at the normal dose21.
