For the treatment of internal parasites, roundworm, hookworm and tapeworm, in dogs.
Properties
Milbemycin oxime and praziquantel are the active ingredients in Milbemax®.
Milbemycin oxime interferes with nerve transmission in invertebrates, which helps protect against heartworm, roundworm, hookworm and whipworm.
Praziquantel causes muscle spasm in tapeworm, which are then attacked by enzymes and disintegrate. It kills all intestinal forms of tapeworm except Spirometra spp, which require a higher than standard dose rate.
Indications
Milbemax for dogs is a broad spectrum intestinal wormer. If given monthly, it also offers prevention against heartworm.
Milbemax for dogs protects against roundworm (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense), whipworm (Trichuris vulpis) and tapeworm (Dipylidum caninum, Echinococcus granulosus, Taenia spp).
If given monthly, Milbemax protects dogs against all of the above, as well as heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis).
