Is it safe to give my cat Advantage Multi & Drontal for worms? Dosage?

Question

Hello! I suspect my cat has some type of worm and wanted to ensure the medicines I will provide are a safe combination. He is treated approximately every 6 weeks with Advantage Multi; in case this is tapeworms I would also like to treat with Drontal. Is it safe to do so at the same time, and what is the dosage recommendation per lb or kg for Drontal? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 8 months and 3 days old | 8 lbs

The Advantage Multi and Drontal contain different ingredients that do not negatively interact in the body, so they are safe to give together. Drontal usually comes in a size-specific bottle for cats and will have the recommended dosage labeled on the side. I recommend only using the Drontal as stated by the manufacturer. A link to their website is below: https://www.bayerdvm.com/show.aspx/productdetail/drontal-tablets When it comes to treating for parasites, it's always best to do so in consultation with your veterinarian. A vet can easily test for the type of parasites present and will be able to give you the best treatment options and prevention advice for the future. They can also make sure that you are not giving medication unnecessarily, or in a potentially dangerous way. I hope that helps and all is well with Jet.
