Further information
Milbemycin oxime belongs to the group of macrocyclic lactones and is active against mites, against larval and adult stages of nematodes as well as against larvae of Dirofilaria immitis.
The concurrent use of MILBEMAX with selamectin is well tolerated. No interactions were observed when the recommended dose of the macrocyclic lactone selamectin was administered during treatment with MILBEMAX at the recommended dose. In the absence of further studies, caution should be taken in the case of concurrent use of MILBEMAX and other macrocyclic lactones. Also, no such studies have been performed with reproducing animals.
Praziquantel is an acylated pyrazino-isoquinoline derivative active against cestodes and trematodes.
MILBEMAX is effective against Dirofilaria imitis, which is endemic in the USA and some parts of continental Europe. The product is also effective against Echinococcus multilocularis which is endemic in some parts of continental Europe and prophylactic treatment is required in all pets entering the UK under the PETS scheme or under quarantine conditions.
