vetman score
6.3/10
Situational / acceptable
Evidence confidence: Medium
Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 001234 · Verified on 23 Oct 2026
A situational broad-spectrum dog tablet with a credible narrower mixed GI nematode+cestode core, convenient dosing and substantial claim inflation beyond the matching EU evidence. Giardia, trematode, broad larval-stage and blanket prevention claims should not drive use without parasite-specific evidence and regimen.
Regulatory and scientific credibility6.5/10
Exact identity, dog use and dose are supported by current Georgian and Moldovan registrations plus manufacturer instructions; identical-strength EU dog products provide a strong narrower regulatory control. No exact international regulator SPC or public modern assessment supports the much broader Giardia/trematode/prevention claims.
Clinical efficacy5.0/10
Praziquantel/pyrantel/fenbendazole at 5/14.4/20 mg/kg has a current identical-strength EU dog authorisation for defined mixed GI nematode+cestode stages, so that narrower core is credible. The manufacturer extends one dose to larval stages, Strongyloides, prevention, several trematodes and Giardia without direct exact-product outcomes; a single 20 mg/kg fenbendazole exposure is not a guideline Giardia course.
Safety and tolerability6.5/10
The manufacturer reports no signs at 3-5x dose and twice-duration exposure in dogs, and the active classes are generally well tolerated. Confidence is limited by no independent exact safety report, broad organ/illness/reproductive exclusions and cholinergic interactions; GI or nonspecific reactions remain possible.
Clinical practicality8.0/10
One dose, no fasting, direct/food administration, quarter scoring and individual sachets are convenient. Accurate weighing and deliverable quarter increments remain necessary above 10 kg; repeat/quarterly prevention requires a parasite-risk plan rather than automatic calendar use.

Current Georgian course price was unavailable; price is excluded from the denominator.
Important safety and use flags
- Scope boundary: this dog score covers the complete manufacturer-labelled nematode, cestode, trematode, prevention and claimed Giardia scope. Evidence is materially stronger for a narrower GI nematode+cestode core; presence of an active does not validate every listed organism/stage.
- Diagnose/risk-assess before dosing: use faecal testing, visible segments, exposure and local epidemiology as appropriate. Echinococcus requires public-health procedures; severe hookworm disease may need stabilization and suspected treatment failure needs quantitative follow-up.
- Exact dose: accurately weigh; give 1/4 tablet at 1-2.5 kg, 1/2 at >2.5-5 kg, 1 at >5-10 kg, then 0.1 tablet/kg in deliverable quarter increments. Give once directly or with food; no fasting/laxative. Do not round an undeliverable result.
- Giardia boundary: one tablet/10 kg supplies fenbendazole 20 mg/kg once. This is not the multi-day fenbendazole-containing regimen described by current giardiosis guidance; do not diagnose/treat Giardia from the ingredient list or repeat empirically without diagnostic and hygiene control.
- Broad-claim boundary: identical-strength EU dog products restrict use to defined mixed GI nematode+cestode stages and when both groups need treatment. Strongyloides, trematodes, broad larval stages and blanket prevention in this manufacturer label lack an equivalent exact-product public outcome dossier.
- Repeat/prevention: repeat after 10-14 days only when parasite biology, diagnosis or risk indicates. Routine quarterly use is not universally optimal; tailor lifetime control to age, geography, hunting/raw diet, travel, household and faecal surveillance, limiting unnecessary selection pressure.
- Reinfection/resistance: control fleas for Dipylidium, prey/raw offal for Taenia/Echinococcus and faecal/environment contamination. Persistent eggs/signs require adherence, reinfection, species/stage and resistance assessment—not automatic use of the same combination.
- Do not use below 4 weeks in dogs or 6 weeks in cats, from one week before through two weeks after parturition, or in infectious disease, exhaustion/debilitation, renal/hepatic impairment or hypersensitivity. Lactation is allowed only once offspring exceed those age limits.
- Do not combine with piperazine derivatives, levamisole, organophosphates or other cholinergic medicines. Stop/reassess clinically significant vomiting, diarrhoea, anorexia, lethargy, depression or neurologic/cholinergic signs; no specific overdose antidote is stated.
- Dog overdose/handling boundary: manufacturer tolerance at 3-5x in dogs is not permission to round or stack products. Confirm full ingestion, keep each sachet from children/animals, wash hands and review all concurrent parasite preventives to avoid duplicate actives.
