Milbemax Worming Tablets for Dogs
Milbemax for dogs is a powerful monthly dewormer to protect canines from intestinal worms. This scientific proven formulation treats and controls various internal parasites including hookworms, tapeworms, whipworms and roundworms. One of its oral dewormers, Milbemax is effective in preventing heartworm infection also. Suitable for all breeds of dogs, it is safe for breeding dogs as well as pregnant and lactating females.
How does it work?
Milbemax contains two key ingredients Milbemycin oxime and praziquantel. The first ingredient Milbemycin oxime disrupts nerve transmission in intestinal parasites. Thus, helps in protecting dogs against hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, and heartworms.
The other ingredient praziquantel causes muscle spasm in tapeworms, which then are attacked by enzymes and disintegrate. It kills all types of tapeworms except Spirometra spp. Thus, the unique formulation protects dogs from intestinal worm infection and prevents heartworm infection.
