Multivermyx - Dewormer for cats - 2 tablets - BIOCANINA

Multivermyx Biocanina: an effective cat dewormer against intestinal parasites

A broad-spectrum digestive antiparasitic solution

Multivermyx Biocanina is a broad-spectrum dewormer medicine for cats intended for the treatment of infestations by round and flat intestinal parasites. Available in a box of 2 tablets, it combines two complementary active substances: pyrantel embonate and praziquantel.

This treatment acts against the main digestive parasites responsible for infestation in cats:

• Toxocara cati
• Ancylostoma tubaeforme
• Dipylidium caninum
• Taenia spp.

These intestinal parasites can cause vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, digestive disorders and coat deterioration. An untreated parasitic infestation can also contaminate the home environment and encourage transmission to other animals in the household, particularly dogs.

Regular deworming thus helps to durably limit the digestive parasitic load.

A pyrantel + praziquantel combination for complete deworming action

Two complementary active ingredients against roundworms and tapeworms

Multivermyx combines two major molecules used in feline deworming:

• pyrantel embonate
• praziquantel

Pyrantel embonate acts mainly against digestive roundworms.
Praziquantel acts against flat parasites such as Taenia spp. and Dipylidium caninum.

This dual combination allows for a targeted treatment of common intestinal infestations in cats, with efficacy well recognised in veterinary medicine.

The responsible use of these veterinary antiparasitic medicines also helps to limit parasitic resistance phenomena, which are now monitored in domestic carnivores.

Mechanism of action: how does Multivermyx work in cats?

Action of pyrantel on roundworms

Pyrantel embonate causes spastic paralysis of roundworms by blocking their neuromuscular transmission. Immobilised in the intestine, the parasites are then naturally eliminated through digestive transit.

Action of praziquantel on flatworms

Praziquantel acts differently. It alters the membrane permeability of cestodes such as Taenia and Dipylidium caninum. This action leads to their rapid destruction in the intestinal lumen.

The combination of these two molecules thus allows for a complete intestinal antiparasitic treatment, suited to simple or mixed digestive infestations.

Which cats is Multivermyx suitable for?

Can be used from 8 weeks and 1 kg

Multivermyx is suitable for:

• kittens from 8 weeks of age
• cats weighing at least 1 kg
• adult cats

This information is an essential precaution before use. The veterinary medicine must not be administered to a younger kitten or one of lower weight.

For cats living outdoors, in groups, or in contact with dogs, regular parasitic prevention effectively limits the risk of digestive infestation.

Multivermyx or Milbetel Biocanina: how to choose the most suitable dewormer?

Difference in antiparasitic spectrum between the two veterinary medicines

Multivermyx acts against:

• round intestinal parasites
• flat intestinal parasites

Milbetel Biocanina acts against:

• digestive parasites
• certain cardio-pulmonary parasites

Thus, Multivermyx is a reference digestive dewormer treatment for classic intestinal infestations.

By comparison, Milbemax also offers a wider spectrum including certain extra-digestive parasites. The choice depends on the cat's level of parasitic exposure and the protocol recommended by the veterinarian.

This comparison helps guide the choice between several veterinary medicines available without a veterinary prescription.

The advantages of the Multivermyx Biocanina dewormer

• broad-spectrum digestive cat dewormer
• effective against round and flat intestinal parasites
• combination of pyrantel embonate + praziquantel
• simple tablet treatment
• can be used from 8 weeks (≥ 1 kg)
• veterinary medicine available without a veterinary prescription
• excellent efficacy / price ratio

Important precautions before administration

Conditions of use to be respected

Before any administration, certain precautions must be observed.

Multivermyx must not be administered:

• to kittens under 8 weeks of age
• to cats weighing less than 1 kg
• in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active substances

Respecting the dosage helps limit the risk of parasitic resistance and ensures optimal efficacy of the treatment.

In case of persistent or significant infestation, veterinary advice is recommended.

Frequently asked questions about Multivermyx Biocanina for cats

What are the side effects of Multivermyx Biocanina in cats?

Multivermyx has a good tolerance profile in both adult cats and kittens from 8 weeks of age. In rare cases, transient digestive disorders may occur after administration, particularly vomiting or mild diarrhea. These effects generally disappear spontaneously without additional treatment. As with any veterinary antiparasitic medicine, it is recommended to follow the precautions for use indicated in the package leaflet in order to avoid adverse reactions.

What is the dosage of Multivermyx for cats?

The recommended dosage is 1 tablet per 4 kg of body weight, administered as a single oral dose. This administration may be repeated several times a year depending on the cat's level of parasitic exposure. For cats living outdoors or in contact with other animals, a more frequent schedule may be necessary to avoid any persistent intestinal infestation.

What is the difference between Multivermyx and Milbetel Biocanina for cats?

Multivermyx acts mainly against round and flat digestive parasites responsible for common intestinal infestations. Milbetel has a wider spectrum of action including certain cardio-pulmonary parasites. The choice between these two veterinary medicines therefore depends on the cat's parasitic risk profile and the protocol recommended by the veterinarian.

Which parasites does Multivermyx Biocanina eliminate in cats?

Multivermyx acts against the main intestinal parasites in cats, notably Toxocara cati, Ancylostoma tubaeforme, Dipylidium caninum and Taenia spp. These digestive parasites are responsible for common intestinal disorders in domestic cats. Regular deworming helps limit their presence and protect the digestive health of the cat as well as that of other animals in the household.
