Dog has roundworms. How long to wait for dewormer after Droncit?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Greyhound | Male | neutered | 3 years and 1 month old | 66 lbs

Hi, my dog (30kg) has worms and I gave him Droncit (from vet practice). However I now think he actually has roundworm which droncit does not kill. Can I use another tablet such as nitroscanate to cover all bases? How long should I waiting before giving it to him as i don’t know if the two can be safely mixed?

I would wait one week before giving the nitroscanate since it also contains a medication to treat tapeworms (as does the Droncit). If you can give a different dewormer that does not contain a tapeworm medication (like Drontal - not Drontal Plus) then you can give it now.
