Description
Product Overview
Pyrantel 5% Liquid Solution is a trusted, fast-acting intestinal dewormer formulated to eliminate common parasitic worms in both companion animals and livestock. This powerful 5% solution works by paralyzing worms within the gastrointestinal tract, allowing them to be naturally expelled from the body.
It is commonly used in:
- Dogs
- Cats
- Horses
- Pigs/Swine
- Goats
Note: Pyrantel is not typically recommended for sheep. Alternative dewormers such as levamisole, ivermectin, or fenbendazole are more commonly used for control of ovine parasites.
