4 Gentle on pets Mode of action contains Oxibendazole and Praziquantel. Oxibendazole acts by inhibiting or destroying cytoplasmic microtubules in the nematode intestinal or absorptive cells. This in turn inhibits glucose uptake by the parasites and consequently depletion of glycogen stores leading to death of the worms up to several days later. Worms die by being unable to absorb glucose and subsequent depletion of glycogen stores. > As the worms die slowly in situ there is less chance of gastrointestinal upsets in treated animals. > Clients will not be upset by live worms being expelled. > This gentle mode of action enables Palatable All-Wormers to be used on puppies and kittens from two weeks of age, ensuring early treatment of roundworms.
