Pharmacological action
ATCvet QP52A, anti-trematodic, anti-nematode and anti-cestode veterinary drugs (QP52AA51 praziquantel, combinations)
Drontal® for cats is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug that contains the active substances praziquantel, a pyrazinisoquinolone derivative, and pyrantel embonate, a tetrahydropyrimidine derivative.

Pyrantel acts as a cholinergic antagonist, causing spastic paralysis of roundworms by depolarizing neuromuscular blockade.
