Interceptor Plus (Milbemycin Oxime/Praziquantel) Chewable Tablets for Dogs

Interceptor Plus Chewable Tablets are a broad-spectrum veterinary parasiticidal medication formulated for monthly oral administration in dogs and puppies to prevent heartworm disease and treat and control adult hookworm, roundworm, whipworm, and tapeworm infections. Containing two active pharmacological agents—milbemycin oxime and praziquantel—this professional-grade preparation offers comprehensive, multi-parasite protection in a savory, chicken-flavored chew. Because proactive parasite prevention requires accurate weight-based dosing and pre-treatment health screening, administration must follow strict product labeling and clinical veterinary guidance.

What Is Interceptor Plus?

Interceptor Plus is a specialized veterinary combination parasiticidal compound formulated for monthly oral delivery under professional veterinary supervision.

Active Ingredients and Formulation

• Active Components:

  • Milbemycin Oxime: A macrocyclic lactone endoparasiticide that prevents heartworm disease by eliminating the tissue larval stage of Dirofilaria immitis acquired within the past 30 days, while also treating and controlling adult hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum), roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), and whipworms (Trichuris vulpis).

  • Praziquantel: An isoquinoline cestocide that eliminates and controls adult tapeworm infections (Taenia pisiformis, Echinococcus multilocularis, Echinococcus granulosus, and Dipylidium caninum).

• Vehicle and Presentation: Supplied as savory, chicken-flavored soft chewable tablets packaged in color-coded blister packs of 6 counts, formulated across four distinct weight tiers for dogs and puppies 6 weeks of age and older weighing 2 lbs or more.

What Is It Used For?

Primary Veterinary Indications

• Heartworm Disease Prevention: Routinely prescribed by veterinarians to prevent fatal canine heartworm disease.

• Intestinal Worm Elimination: Treats, controls, and removes four major classes of dangerous intestinal worms: roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms, reducing both clinical illness and zoonotic transmission risks.
