The FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine database currently holds 172 adverse event reports referencing 30Mg Pyrantel Pamoate/ 30Mg Praziquantel, including 17 reports in which the animal died — a 990.0% case-fatality figure among reported events only, not a population-level mortality rate. Active ingredient on file: 30Mg Pyrantel Pamoate/ 30Mg Praziquantel. Reported administration routes include Oral, Unknown. These numbers reflect voluntary submissions from pet owners, veterinarians, and manufacturers and therefore under-represent mild events and over-represent severe ones — a pattern the FDA has documented repeatedly for pharmacovigilance datasets.

Within those species, Chihuahua (21), Shih Tzu (19), American Pit Bull Terrier (14) appear most often — though breed popularity and ownership density shape these counts as much as any drug-specific sensitivity. This distribution matters because the same active ingredient can behave very differently across body sizes, ages, and species physiology.

The most commonly reported clinical signs associated with 30Mg Pyrantel Pamoate/ 30Mg Praziquantel are Vomiting (70), Lethargy (see also Central nervous system depression in 'Neurological') (55), Diarrhoea (30), Not eating (15). Of the 171 reports with a coded outcome, Outcome Unknown is the leading category at 51.5%. Because FDA adverse event data describes correlation rather than causation, these figures are best used to frame informed questions with a veterinarian and to compare reporting patterns across related products — not as a standalone safety verdict on 30Mg Pyrantel Pamoate/ 30Mg Praziquantel.
