Interceptor Plus For Dogs

(milbemycin oxime/praziquantel)

Interceptor Plus by Novartis is a palatable once-a-month chewable tablet for the prevention and control of heartworms and intestinal worms in dogs. Available to dogs and puppies weighing two pounds or greater and six weeks of age and older.

Interceptor Plus is a broad spectrum parasiticide that prevents heartworm disease (Dirfilaria immitis) in dogs as well as treats and controls roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), whipworms (Trichuris vulpis), and adult tapeworms (Echinococcus granulosus, Dipylidium canium, Taenia pisiformis).

• Milbemycin oxime interferes with nerve transmission in heartworms, roundworms, hookworms and whipworms.
• Praziquantel causes muscle spasm in tapeworms which allows intestinal enzymes to attack and disintegrate the worm. It kills all intestinal forms of tapeworm except for Spirometra spp, which requires a higher than standard dose.

If a dose is missed by 15-30 days, heartworm prevention can be maintained if treated immediately and monthly dosing resumes for at least the next 2 months. If a dose is missed by greater than 60 days, dosing may be recommenced and a blood test for adult heartworm must be performed after 6 months. Prior to administration of Interceptor Plus, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections.

Federal (USA) law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.
