New Tape Worm Medicine Available Over-the-Counter

Saturday, February 05, 2005

D-Worm TapewormPreviously, if your dog needed medicine to control tapeworms, you had to get a prescription from your vet. Now, you can buy it over-the-counter.

Farnam Pet Products announced a week ago of their latest product, "D-Worm Tapeworm". According to the company's press release:
D-Worm Tapeworm contains praziquantel, the #1 choice among veterinarians for tapeworm treatment. The innovative product kills both flea and rabbit-transmitted tapeworms in a single dose within 24-hours, compared to other treatments that take three days to kill only rabbit-transmitted tapeworms.

"When fleas are present on the outside, it's likely that tapeworms are on the prowl inside. The new D-Worm Tapeworm is a proven method for treatment and prevention of this common problem," said Scott Brickin, marketing manager for Farnam Pet Products. "The best solution is to administer D-Worm on an ongoing, preventative basis."
D-Worm Tapeworm is available in five and ten tablet count bottles, and can be administered orally or crushed and mixed with food. The company claims that it is safe for weaned puppies more than four weeks old, adult dogs, pregnant females and breeding males. Farnam also makes D-Worm for cats and kittens.

D-Worm is available fromt PETsMART, Petco, and other pet specialty stores.

  • I purchased Praziquantel from my local Walmart in Arizona. When I went to administer, there was no instruction whatsoever of what a "dose" was; 1 of the 5 pills or 5 of the 5 pills; 1X or 1X day for 5 days. The trade name was Trade Winds. This needs to be corrected before someone who guesses at it makes their dog very sick.

  • I bought this exact product. The website was helpful and even listed a store that carried it less than a mile from my home. It is at a good price, the dosages are listed on the product and on their website and it worked well on both my dogs. Great product and really saved me money to not have to go to the vet.
