What is Praziquantel?

Why is it compounded?

Most medications are made for people, in strengths and forms that don’t suit pets. Compounding lets us prepare Praziquantel in the exact strength your veterinarian orders, in forms such as capsule, flavored oral suspension. Flavoring helps pets and people take it more easily. We can also leave out dyes, fillers or allergens when needed.
