One of the most popular heartworm preventives – Interceptor Spectrum is a tasty chew that comes in various pack sizes according to dog’s body weight. The potent formula eliminates immature stages of heartworms and destroys various intestinal worms without harming dogs. Interceptor Spectrum protects dogs against dangerous heartworm infection and harmful gastrointestinal worm infections. The oral treatment is easy to administer and safe to use in dogs and puppies from 2 weeks of age.
Interceptor Spectrum consists of two active ingredients - milbemycin oxime and Praziquantel. Milbemycin oxime acts as a catalyst in killing different parasites by obstructing the transmission of nerve impulses of heartworm, roundworm, hookworm and whipworm. This results in paralysis in these parasites ultimately resulting in death. The other ingredient Praziquantel causes muscle spasm in tapeworm which is then attacked by enzymes and ultimately disintegrates. The combined effect of both these ingredients result in complete destruction of these parasites from the body of your dog.
Milbemycin and Praziquantel
