Profender for Cats: Intestinal parasite treatment

Profender contains two active ingredients: Emodepside and praziquantel. On application, the ingredients are absorbed topically through your cat’s skin and reach the intestinal tract. Here, emodepside works to kill and remove adult and immature stages of roundworms and hookworms. Praziquantel, on the other hand, effectively removes tapeworms.

Does my indoor cat need a deworming treatment?

Parasites, like fleas, find their way inside the house by hitchhiking on clothes, shoes, etc., and can work as a carrier of intermediate stages of worms. When an indoor cat ingests fleas infected with tapeworms while self-grooming or hunts a mouse (or cockroach, etc.) carrying intermediate stages of worms, they get the infections. Therefore, deworming an indoor cat is important.
