Panacur is a widely trusted canine dewormer that contains Fenbendazole, a proven broad-spectrum dewormer for dogs. It effectively treats a variety of internal parasites, including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and certain types of tapeworms. Additionally, Panacur 150mg is often prescribed off-label as a dog parasite treatment for Giardia, a common intestinal protozoa.
Fenbendazole for dogs works by blocking the parasites’ ability to absorb nutrients, which eventually leads to their death. Panacur is available in several convenient forms, such as oral granules, suspension, and paste, and is easily administered with food.
The typical dosage is 50 mg/kg of body weight, given once daily for three consecutive days, though your veterinarian may adjust the schedule based on the specific infection. Panacur is known as a safe dewormer for puppies, and is also suitable for pregnant and lactating dogs, making it a versatile choice for all life stages.
Side effects are rare and usually mild, including occasional vomiting or diarrhea. Routine deworming with Panacur helps maintain your pet's digestive health and protects your home environment from parasitic contamination. Always consult your vet before beginning any deworming regimen for your dog.
