Droncit tablets for dogs and cats are for the treatment of adult tapeworms in dogs and cats. The tablets are effective against both immature and mature forms of adult tapeworms in both dogs and cats. The product is a highly effective treatment against all the common species of tapeworm infecting dogs and cats in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The recommended dosage rate is 5 mg/kg body weight. This corresponds to 1 tablet per 10 kg body weight.
| Dogs: | Body weight | |
| 2.5–5.0 kg | ½ tablet | |
| 6.0–10.0 kg | 1 tablet | |
| 11.0–20.0 kg | 2 tablets | |
| 21.0–30.0 kg | 3 tablets | |

The tablets are administered by opening the animal's mouth and pushing the tablet over the back of the tongue so that it cannot be rejected. Alternatively, a tablet can be wrapped in a piece of meat or butter and offered to the animal or crushed and mixed with the food.
A single dose is all that is required. However, for dogs in rural areas and for packs of hounds this dose should be repeated every four weeks to ensure that newly acquired tapeworms are destroyed before reaching maturity.
The product may be administered to pregnant females. It is safe to the female herself, to the unborn foetus and to the newborn young. Do not administer to dogs weighing less than 2.5 kg.
