Why Switch to Interceptor® Plus?

In a well-controlled laboratory study, Interceptor Plus was 100% effective against induced heartworm infections when administered according to label directions.

Elimination of the adult stage of hookworm (A. caninum), roundworm (T. canis, T. leonina), whipworm (T. vulpis) and tapeworm (T. pisiformis, E. multilocularis, E. granulosus and D. caninum) infections in dogs was demonstrated in well-controlled laboratory studies.

Milbemycin oxime and praziquantel are the two active ingredients in Interceptor Plus.

Interceptor Plus has been demonstrated to be safe in healthy dogs when given according to labeled directions. Interceptor Plus is approved for use in dogs and puppies 2 pounds of body weight or greater and 6 weeks of age and older.

You should discuss the use of Interceptor Plus with your veterinarian prior to use if your dog has a history of epilepsy (seizures).

The following adverse reactions have been reported in dogs after administration of milbemycin oxime or praziquantel: vomiting, diarrhea, depression/lethargy, ataxia, anorexia, convulsions, weakness, and salivation.

Prior to administration of Interceptor Plus, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms. Interceptor Plus 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 Plus is only available with a prescription from your veterinarian.
