Interceptor Plus Chewable Tablets for Dogs is indicated for the prevention of heartworm disease and for the treatment and control of adult roundworm, adult hookworm, adult whipworm, and adult tapeworm infections in dogs and puppies two pounds of body weight or greater and six weeks of age and older. This heartworm medication is an easy-to-administer, once-monthly treatment that comes in the form of chewy morsels. Boxes are color-coded base on dogs' weight.How it Works
Interceptor Plus treats and controls whipworm (Trichuris vulpis), roundworms (Toxascaris leonina, Toxocara canis) adult stage hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum), and the tissue stage of heartworm larvae and infestations when given in the correct weight range dose and when given orally.
Interference with invertebrate neurotransmission is thought to be the cause of the anthelmintic activity of milbemycin oxime.
