From 6 months on all cats should be dewormed every 3 months and in the event of a heavy round worm infestation, a repeat dose should be given after 14 days.

Don’t forget the flea control!
Fleas are often infected with the larvae of the Tapeworm, which can be transferred to your cat by swallowing the flea while grooming.
In order to control worms, you also need to control fleas. A spot-on treatment is the easiest way to protect your cat – but you may also need one that kills flea larvae in your pet's surroundings, to effectively break the flea lifecycle.
If you don’t control a flea problem at the same time as worming, your cat is almost certain to be re-infected.
This product is for animal use only and should under no circumstances be administered to any animal other than that which is stated for.
