Azinox

50 mg tablets, N6 for dogs and cats
Assessed clinical scopeDog · Full dog label from 3 weeks: single treatment and quarterly prevention of tapeworm (cestode) infections with praziquantel · By mouth
Care settingVeterinary-directed tapeworm treatment of a weighed dog, including risk-based Echinococcus control
vetman score 6.2/10 Situational / acceptable
Evidence confidence: Low Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 000695 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A situational tapeworm-only option: praziquantel is the right drug, especially for Echinococcus risk in Georgia, but the product has only manufacturer-level documentation and needs a roundworm drug for full deworming.

Regulatory and scientific credibility4.5/10

The exact presentation is registered in Georgia (000695, valid to 2029) with a 2024 Russian manufacturer instruction; no EU, UK or US authorisation was documented in the reviewed evidence, but praziquantel itself is among the best-documented anthelmintics.

Clinical efficacy6.5/10

Praziquantel at 5 mg/kg (1 tablet per 10 kg) is highly effective against Taenia, Dipylidium and Echinococcus and is the ESCCAP and WSAVA reference cestocide; it has no effect on roundworms, and this generic's bioequivalence is not public.

Safety and tolerability7.5/10

Praziquantel has a wide margin; the label excludes puppies under 3 weeks and animals with marked liver or kidney disease, emaciation or infection, and asks for veterinary supervision in pregnancy and lactation.

Clinical practicality6.5/10

Tablets for dogs from 5 kg are simple, but smaller dogs need half a tablet crushed in 5 ml of water and given at 1 ml/kg straight away, which is fiddly.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

No verified current Georgian price or patient-adjusted course cost was found; foreign prices were not substituted.

Important safety and use flags

  • Tapeworms only: no effect on roundworms, hookworms or whipworms.
  • For dogs with access to offal or prey, repeat praziquantel about every 4-6 weeks as ESCCAP advises, and dispose of faeces safely after treatment.
  • Do not use in puppies under 3 weeks or with marked liver or kidney dysfunction, emaciation, infection or hypersensitivity; pregnancy and lactation need veterinary supervision.
  • The label forbids combination with piperazine anthelmintics or cholinesterase inhibitors.
  • For dogs under 5 kg, give the crushed suspension immediately after mixing.

Care settingVeterinary-directed tapeworm treatment of a weighed cat, especially a hunting or flea-exposed cat
vetman score 6.1/10 Situational / acceptable
Evidence confidence: Low Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 000695 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A situational tapeworm-only option for cats: praziquantel is the right drug, but the crushed-suspension method for small cats is awkward and the product has only manufacturer-level documentation.

Regulatory and scientific credibility4.5/10

The exact presentation is registered in Georgia (000695, valid to 2029) with a 2024 Russian manufacturer instruction; no EU, UK or US authorisation was documented in the reviewed evidence, but praziquantel itself is among the best-documented anthelmintics.

Clinical efficacy6.5/10

Praziquantel at 5 mg/kg is highly effective against Dipylidium, Taenia taeniaeformis and Echinococcus in cats and is the ESCCAP reference cestocide; it has no effect on roundworms, and bioequivalence is not public.

Safety and tolerability7.5/10

Praziquantel has a wide margin in cats, although its bitter taste can cause salivation; the label excludes kittens under 3 weeks and animals with marked liver or kidney disease and asks for supervision in pregnancy and lactation.

Clinical practicality6.0/10

Most cats are under 5 kg and need half a tablet crushed in 5 ml of water and given at 1 ml/kg straight away, which is fiddly and often refused.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

No verified current Georgian price or patient-adjusted course cost was found; foreign prices were not substituted.

Important safety and use flags

  • Tapeworms only: no effect on roundworms or hookworms.
  • Dipylidium returns if fleas are not controlled; treat fleas at the same time.
  • Do not use in kittens under 3 weeks or with marked liver or kidney dysfunction, emaciation, infection or hypersensitivity; pregnancy and lactation need veterinary supervision.
  • The label forbids combination with piperazine anthelmintics or cholinesterase inhibitors.
  • Salivation after dosing is usually due to the bitter taste and passes quickly.
