Top Questions About Interceptor Flavor Tabs

: Milbemycin oxime is the active ingredient in Interceptor.
: Interceptor has been tested safely in over 75 different breeds of dogs and 8 breeds of cats. Interceptor is approved for use in dogs and puppies 2 pounds of body weight or greater and 4 weeks of age and older and cats and kittens six weeks of age or greater and 1.5 Ibs. body weight or greater.
: Prior to administration of Interceptor, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms. Interceptor is not effective against adult D. immitis. Mild, transient hypersensitivity reactions, such as labored breathing, vomiting, hypersalivation and lethargy, have been noted in some dogs treated with milbemycin oxime carrying a high number of circulating microfilariae. These reactions are presumably caused by release of protein from dead or dying microfilariae.
: Interceptor is only available with a prescription from your veterinarian. Locate a vet near you.
: Your veterinarian is your dog’s health care expert and can make the best recommendation about medications for your dog or cat. This includes heartworm disease prevention and the control and treatment of intestinal parasites that may cause other parasite-related problems. Key points of your discussion may include the following:

* As with other heartworm preventives, dogs should be tested for heartworm disease before beginning treatment with Interceptor. Infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms at the discretion of the veterinarian.

* Like all medications, keep Interceptor out of reach of children. Interceptor is not for use in humans.
: Heartworm prevention products require a prescription obtained through a licensed veterinarian who has a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship with you and your dog or cat.

Before administering parasite protection such as Interceptor, it’s important for your veterinarian to test your pet for a heartworm infection.
: INTERCEPTOR must be administered monthly, preferably on the same date each month. The first dose should be administered within one month of the dog’s or cat’s first exposure to mosquitoes and monthly thereafter until the end of the mosquito season.
