Heartworm Preventive; Agent to Treat & Control Intestinal Parasites

In dogs and cats, oral milbemycin tablets are approved by the FDA for prevention of heartworm infection and to control hookworms and roundworms; it also controls whipworms in dogs. In dogs, milbemycin may also used at higher dosages for treating some skin parasitic disease (eg, demodectic mange, scabies). Milbemycin has been used to treat reptiles for intestinal parasites and, unlike ivermectin, appears safe to use in turtles or tortoises.

The FDA does allow veterinarians to prescribe and use products containing this drug in different species or for other conditions in certain situations. You and your veterinarian can discuss why this drug is the most appropriate choice.
