Description / Action: 

Kiwof plus and Kiwof plus XL tablets have three active ingredients having different modes of action and spectra of activity. Praziquantel is active against cestodes (tapeworms). Praziquantel is absorbed, metabolized in the liver, and excreted in the bile. After entering in the digestive tract from the bile, cestocidal activity is exhibited. After getting exposure to praziquantel, the tapeworm loses its ability to resist digestion by the mammalian host. Because of this, whole tapeworms, including the scolices, are very rarely passed after the administration of praziquantel. It is observed that in many instances only disintegrated and partially digested pieces of tapeworms will be seen in the stool. That’s why the majority of tapeworms are digested and are not found in the feces.

Pyrantel pamoate is active against hookworms and ascarids. It acts on the cholinergic receptors of the nematode resulting in spastic paralysis. Peristaltic action of the intestinal tract then eliminates the parasite.

Febantel is active against nematode parasites including whipworms. It is rapidly absorbed and metabolized in the animal. According to available information parasite’s energy metabolism is blocked, leading to energy exchange breakdown and inhibited glucose uptake.
