Milbemax: Your Dog's Shield Against Parasites

Milbemax is a reliable and convenient worming solution for dogs. It offers comprehensive protection against a range of internal parasites, including:

• Roundworms
• Hookworms
• Tapeworms
• Heartworm (with monthly administration)   
   

How Milbemax Works

Milbemax contains two active ingredients:   

• Milbemycin Oxime: Interferes with nerve transmission in parasites, leading to their paralysis and death.   
   
• Praziquantel: Causes muscle spasms in tapeworms, leading to their disintegration. 
   

Key Benefits of Milbemax:

• Broad-Spectrum Protection: Effective against multiple parasites.   
   
• Easy to Administer: Convenient tablet form.  
   
• Safe and Effective: Gentle on your dog's digestive system.
• Heartworm Prevention: Monthly administration helps prevent heartworm infection. 
   

By regularly worming your dog with Milbemax, you can help protect them from the harmful effects of internal parasites and ensure their overall health and well-being.

Safety

Milbemax for dogs has a satisfactory safety profile when used as per label directions.

Milbemycin oxime has been safety tested in more than 75 different dog breeds, breeding males, pregnant and lactating females, puppies older than 2 weeks and ivermectin-sensitive collies. Clinical signs of toxicity may be seen at greater than 10 times the recommended dose.

Praziquantel has been safety tested in breeding males, and pregnant and lactating females. Clinical signs of toxicity may be seen at 20-80 times the recommended dose.

If an animal with adult heartworm infection (and therefore circulating microfilariae) is given Milbemax Dog, a mild transient shock-like reaction can occur. To avoid this, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment.

This formulation is not suitable for use in cats.
