Dosage and Administration For Dogs:

MILBEGUARD Flavored Tablets are given orally, once a month, at the recommended minimum dosage rate of 0.23 mg milbemycin oxime per pound of body weight (0.5 mg/kg).

Dogs over 100 Ibs. are provided the appropriate combination of tablets.

Administration:

MILBEGUARD Flavored Tablets are dual-purpose and 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.

MILBEGUARD Flavored Tablets 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 MILBEGUARD® Flavored Tablets immediately and resume the monthly dosing schedule.

If MILBEGUARD Flavored Tablets replaces diethylcarbamazine (DEC) for heartworm prevention, the first dose must be given within 30 days after the last dose of DEC.

Precautions:

Do not use in puppies less than four weeks of age or less than two pounds of body weight. Before initiation of the MILBEGUARD Flavored Tablets treatment program, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections. Infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating treatment with MILBEGUARD® Flavored Tablets. 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 the release of protein from dead or dying microfilariae.

Dosage and Administration For Cats:

MILBEGUARD Flavored Tablets for Cats are given orally, once a month, at the recommended minimum dosage rate of 0.9 mg milbemycin oxime per pound of body weight (2.0mg/kg).

Cats over 25 Ibs. are provided the appropriate combination of tablets.

Administration:

MILBEGUARD Flavored Tablets for Cats may be offered in food or administered as other tablet medications. The tablets can be broken for ease of administration. Watch the cat 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.
