Milpro cats 16mg/40mg 48 tablets

Milpro for cats 16mg/40mg 48 tablets is a box of 48 tablets for cats containing milbemycin oxime (16 mg) and praziquantel (40 mg). It is intended for comprehensive deworming protocols and for the prophylaxis of heartworm disease in domestic cats.

Indications

This combination is effective against tapeworms, intestinal and pulmonary nematodes, and Dirofilaria immitis larvae. The tapeworms eliminated include Dipylidium caninum and Taenia taeniaeformis. In endemic areas, the manufacturer recommends repeating the dose every four weeks. It is an alternative to smaller boxes when prolonged use is anticipated.

Format and composition

• Milbemycin oxime (16 mg): macrocyclic lactone active against nematodes and dirofilaria larvae.
• Praziquantel (40 mg): broad-spectrum anthelmintic against cestodes.
• Coated and palatable tablets, easy to administer.
• 48 units per box: with a monthly dose, they are equivalent to a year's supply for four cats.

Usage and guidelines

Dosage is based on the cat's exact weight. The standard regimen is 2 mg of milbemycin oxime and 5 mg of praziquantel per kg, administered orally as a single dose. It is given with or immediately after food. The animal must be weighed before each treatment to avoid overdosing or ineffectiveness.

Frequently asked questions

Why weigh the cat before each dose of Milpro cats 16mg/40mg 48 tablets?

Because the dosage depends on weight, and weight changes over time. An adjusted dosage prevents both ineffectiveness and overuse.

How often does it recur in areas with dirofilariasis?

The leaflet mentions one dose every 4 weeks in endemic areas, always under veterinary supervision.

What contraindications does it have?

Hypersensitivity to any of the components. The veterinarian also assesses each individual case before prescribing it.

What side effects can occur?

If they appear, they are considered infrequent; in case of repeated vomiting, apathy or any strange sign, consult the veterinarian.

Is it suitable for a single cat?

It can be useful if the treatment is long-term, such as monthly preventative care. For occasional treatments, there's plenty of product, and a small box is more practical.

Use the product under veterinary guidance and keep the leaflet at hand.
