What is Interceptor?
Interceptor is a palatable broad-spectrum wormer, formulated to protect dogs and puppies against a range of internal parasites, including heartworms and intestinal worms. These easy-to-administer flavored tablets effectively control adult hookworms. The treatment is useful in the removal and control of adult roundworm and whipworm infections. This monthly treatment also prevents heartworm disease by eliminating the tissue stage of heartworm larvae. Interceptor Flavor Tabs are suitable for puppies and dogs from 4 weeks of age and weighing at least 2 lbs.
How Does Interceptor Work?
Interceptor for dogs contains Milbemycin oxime as the active ingredient, which works by interfering with the parasite's invertebrate neurotransmission. It targets and eliminates the tissue stage of heartworm larvae. Additionally, it attacks the adult stage of intestinal worms and treats and controls whipworms and roundworms and effectively controls hookworms.
Directions
- Before commencing the treatment, test your dog for an existing heartworm infection.
- Weight your dog to ascertain the right dosage.
- Administer Interceptor tablet orally, once a month (preferably on the same date).
- The first dose should be administered within one month of the dog’s first exposure to mosquitoes.
- The tablet can be administered orally or may be offered in food.
- After administration, monitor your dog and confirm if the entire dose is consumed.
- If the dose is not entirely consumed, re-administer the whole dose.
- If a dose is missed, immediately administer a full dose and resume the monthly schedule.
