Praziquantel, pyrantel embonate and febantel are the three active ingredients present in this deworming treatment. Praziquantel works by impairing the skin of the parasite internally. This makes the parasite disintegrate and gets rid of in the immune system of the cat. Pyrantel embonate works against hookworms and ascarids and acts as a blocking agent thereby paralyzing the parasite. Febantel works against intestinal worms. Thus the combination of all the three ingredients results in total destruction of all these worms.
