Australian-made intestinal wormer for small dogs and puppies 1.1–11 lbs (0.5–5 kg). One tablet protects against roundworm, hookworm, whipworm and tapeworm — vet-quality praziquantel and oxibendazole at a fraction of the price of Drontal. APVMA-approved. 2-tablet pack.

Vet-grade worming for small dogs and puppies — without the vet-clinic price tag

Neomax Allwormer Tablets are an Australian-made, APVMA-approved oral wormer for small dogs and puppies weighing 1.1–11 lbs (0.5–5 kg). One tablet treats and controls all four of the major intestinal worms that affect dogs in Australia, North America and worldwide — roundworm, hookworm, whipworm and tapeworm. The active ingredients are exactly the same as Drontal and Endogard, but Neomax is a generic, which means you get the same protection at a fraction of the price.

This Brown 2-tablet pack gives you two doses — enough to cover six months of regular worming for one small dog up to 11 lbs, or a single dose for two small dogs at the same time.

What Neomax protects your dog against

• Roundworms — Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina, including the immature stages that most worming products miss.
• Hookworms — Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala, the two species responsible for blood loss and anaemia in young puppies.
• Whipworms — Trichuris vulpis, one of the hardest intestinal worms to clear in adult dogs.
• Tapeworms — Dipylidium caninum (the flea-transmitted tapeworm), Taenia species, and Echinococcus granulosus (hydatid tapeworm — a serious public-health risk).

How Neomax works

Praziquantel is the gold-standard active for tapeworms. It paralyses the tapeworm and breaks down its protective outer layer so it can be digested and passed out of your dog's system — usually within 24 hours of dosing.

Oxibendazole is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole that targets roundworms, hookworms and whipworms. It blocks the worm's ability to absorb glucose, starving the parasite and clearing it from the intestinal tract.

Both actives have been used in veterinary medicine for decades. They're the same two ingredients you'll find in well-known brands like Drontal and Endogard — Neomax is the budget-priced Australian generic, with the same vet-grade efficacy at roughly a third of the cost.

Active ingredients

Each Neomax Brown tablet contains 25 mg praziquantel and 50 mg oxibendazole, dosed for dogs and puppies up to 11 lbs (5 kg).

Dosing — quick guide

• Up to 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg) — half a tablet
• 5.6–11 lbs (2.6–5 kg) — one full tablet
• Give once every 3 months for adult maintenance worming
• Puppies: worm every 2 weeks from 2 weeks of age until 12 weeks, then monthly until 6 months, then every 3 months
• Pregnant or lactating bitches: give 10 days before whelping, then 2 and 4 weeks after

How to give the tablet

Neomax tablets are small, oval and unflavoured. Most dogs swallow them happily when hidden in a meatball of cheese, a chunk of meat or a soft treat. If your dog refuses, the tablet can be split using the central scoring line or crushed and mixed into food. Give with or just after a meal — this helps reduce the very rare chance of a temporary upset stomach.

Why customers buy Neomax instead of Drontal

• Identical active ingredients to Drontal Allwormer (praziquantel + oxibendazole)
• APVMA-approved and manufactured under GMP conditions in Australia
• Roughly a third of the price per dose compared with branded equivalents
• Tablets are scored, so half-doses are easy and accurate for small dogs and young puppies
• No prescription required — sold over the counter

Pack contents

2 tablets — enough for 2 monthly worming doses for one small dog, or one dose for two small dogs in the same household.

Safety and side effects

Neomax has a wide safety margin. The actives are well-tolerated in dogs from 2 weeks of age and at least 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg) bodyweight. The most common side effects, when they occur at all, are mild — temporary loose stool or a one-off vomit in the 24 hours after dosing. Talk to your vet before use if your dog is pregnant or has a known sensitivity to benzimidazoles. Do not give to cats — see our cat wormer range for the feline equivalent.

Important — heartworm cover

Neomax Allwormer covers intestinal worms only. It does not prevent heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis). For complete protection, give Neomax alongside a monthly heartworm preventative such as Valuheart, Heartgard Plus or NexGard Spectra.

For complete parasite protection, pair Neomax with a monthly flea and tick chew (NexGard, Bravecto or Simparica Trio) and a monthly heartworm preventative.

Compliance

Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) Approval No: 93269/140687. Manufactured under GMP conditions and label-equivalent to leading Australian-registered allwormers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Neomax the same as Drontal?

A: Neomax contains the exact same two active ingredients as Drontal Allwormer for small dogs — praziquantel (for tapeworm) and oxibendazole (for round, hook and whipworm). The dosing and efficacy are equivalent. Neomax is the Australian generic and is significantly cheaper per dose. Both are APVMA-approved.

Q: What worms does Neomax kill?

A: Neomax kills all four major intestinal worms in dogs: roundworm (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala), whipworm (Trichuris vulpis) and tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum, Taenia species, Echinococcus granulosus). It does NOT prevent heartworm — for that you need a separate monthly heartworm preventative.

Q: How often do I worm my small dog with Neomax?

A: Adult dogs over 6 months: every 3 months. Puppies 2–12 weeks: every 2 weeks. Puppies 12 weeks to 6 months: monthly. Pregnant bitches: 10 days before whelping and 2 + 4 weeks after. Rescue dogs and dogs with a history of fleas should be wormed more often because tapeworm is flea-transmitted.

Q: Can I split the tablet?

A: Yes. Neomax tablets are centrally scored so a half-tablet is easy and accurate. The half-tablet dose is for dogs and puppies up to 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg).

Q: Is Neomax safe for puppies?

A: Yes — Neomax is approved for puppies from 2 weeks of age and at least 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg) bodyweight. It's commonly used by breeders and rescues for first worming.

Q: Can I give Neomax to my cat?

A: No — this product is formulated for dogs only. Cats need a cat-specific wormer because they're more sensitive to certain veterinary actives. See our cat wormer range.

Q: Do I need a prescription?

A: No. Neomax Allwormer is sold over the counter and ships without prescription verification.

Q: Does Neomax prevent heartworm?

A: No. Neomax covers intestinal worms only. Heartworm is a separate parasite that requires a dedicated monthly preventative. For complete coverage, pair Neomax with a heartworm tablet such as Valuheart, Heartgard Plus or NexGard Spectra.

Q: Does Neomax kill fleas?

A: No. For fleas and ticks you need a separate monthly product such as NexGard, Bravecto or Simparica Trio. Neomax is an intestinal wormer only.
