Praziquantel Injection Cestocide may be administered by either the subcutaneous or intramuscular route to dogs and cats. The intramuscular route may be preferred in dogs due to a brief period of pain that occasionally follows subcutaneous administration. Anaphylactoid reactions were not observed in clinical trials. However, as with any drug, an anaphylactoid reaction can occur with this product and should be treated symptomatically if it occurs.
