Who is it for?
Trifexis is for use in dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age or older and 5 lbs of body weight or greater. What are the benefits?
3 types of parasite protection in a monthly chewable tablet!
| * | Kills fleas and prevents infestations |
| * | Prevents heartworm disease |
| * | Treats and controls intestinal parasite infections |
| * | Does not control ticks |
Trifexis is a monthly chewable tablet for dogs that kills fleas, prevents heartworm disease and treats and controls adult hookworm, roundworm and whipworm infections. Trifexis combines two active ingredients to provide protection for your dog against three kinds of dangerous parasites. And Trifexis is beef-flavored, so you can offer it as a treat.
Because Trifexis is given orally, you don't have to isolate your dog from other pets or children.
How does Trifexis work?
Milbemycin oxime is used as a heartworm preventive. It kills the immature form of the heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis), which is transmitted by a mosquito. Milbemycin also kills adult hookworms, roundworms and whipworms. The spinosad in Trifexis prevents and controls flea infestations by killing adult fleas. Is there a generic equivalent available?
No generic products are available. How is it given?
Trifexis is given orally. Give with food for maximum effectiveness. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. Follow your veterinarian's directions on when to give this medication. If advised to give it seasonally for heartworm prevention, remember to give it during and 3 months beyond the mosquito season, preferably on the same date each month.
Treatment with fewer than 3 monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes may not provide complete heartworm protection.
This medication should only be given to the pet for whom it was prescribed.
What results can I expect?
Trifexis will kill the immature heartworms the dog was exposed to in the preceding month. It will treat an intestinal infection with adult hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms, and will kill adult fleas. What form(s) does it come in?
Chewable tablet
