Interceptor Rx, 51-100 lbs Dog/12.1-25 lbs Cat, White, 6 count

Administration:
Interceptor Flavor Tabs are palatable and most dogs will consume the tablet willingly when offered by the owner. As an alternative the dual-purpose tablet may be offered in food or administered as other tablet medications. Watch the dog closely following dosing to be sure the entire dose has been consumed. If it is not entirely consumed redose once with the full recommended dose as soon as possible.

Interceptor Flavor Tabs must be administered monthly preferably on the same date each month. The first dose should be administered within one month of the dog's first exposure to mosquitoes and monthly thereafter until the end of the mosquito season. If a dose is missed and a 30-day interval between dosing is exceeded administer Interceptor Flavor Tabs immediately and resume the monthly dosing schedule.

If Interceptor Flavor Tabs replaces diethylcarbamazine (DEC) for heartworm prevention the first dose must be given within 30 days after the last dose of DEC.

Dosage:
Interceptor Flavor Tabs are given orally once a month at the recommended minimum dosage rate of 0.23 mg milbemycin oxime per pound of body weight (0.5mg/kg).

Precautions:

Prior to the initiation of the Interceptor Flavor Tabs treatment program dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections. Infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfiliariae prior to initiating treatment with Interceptor Flavor Tabs. Mild transient hypersensitivity reactions manifested as labored respiration vomiting salivation and lethargy have been noted in some treated dogs carrying a high number of circulating microfilariae. These reactions are presumably caused by release of protein from dead or dying microfilariae.

The following adverse reactions have been reported following the use of Interceptor: Depression/lethargy vomiting ataxia anorexia diarrhea convulsions weakness and hypersalivation.
