Drontal Plus is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic
for eliminating intestinal parasites. Its active ingredients, praziquantel,
pyrantel pamoate, and febantel, are effective against tapeworms, hookworms,
roundworms, and whipworms. Praziquantel affects the skin of tapeworms
so that they are no longer capable of resisting digestion, which in
turn leads to their dissolution. Pyrantel pamoate is effective against
hookworms and roundworms. It triggers paralysis of the parasites, making
them lose their grip on the intestinal wall and allowing for excretion
from the body. Febantel is believed to work against whipworms by inhibiting
their energy metabolism.
