Dosage and Administration:
IVERHART PLUS (ivermectin/pyrantel) Flavored Chewables should be administered orally at monthly intervals at the recommended minimum dose level of 6 mcg of ivermectin per kilogram (2.72 mcg/lb) and 5 mg of pyrantel (as pamoate salt) per kg (2.27 mg/lb) of body weight. The recommended dosing schedule for prevention of canine heartworm disease and for the treatment and control of roundworms and hookworms is as follows:
Dog Weight | Flavored Chewable Per Month | Ivermectin Content | Pyrantel Content |
---|---|---|---|
Up to 25 lbs | 1 | 68 mcg | 57 mg |
26 to 50 lbs | 1 | 136 mcg | 114 mg |
51 to 100 lbs | 1 | 272 mcg | 227 mg |
IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables are recommended for dogs 6 weeks of age and older.
For dogs over 100 lbs use the appropriate combination of these flavored chewables.
Administration:
Remove only one chewable at a time from the foil-backed blister card. Return the card with the remaining chewables to its box to protect the product from light. Because most dogs find IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables palatable, the product can be offered to the dog by hand. Alternatively, it may be added intact to a small amount of dog food. The chewable should be administered in a manner that encourages the dog to chew, rather than to swallow without chewing. Chewables may be broken into pieces and fed to dogs that normally swallow treats whole.
Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed for a few minutes after administration to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or rejected. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost, redosing is recommended.
IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables should be given at monthly intervals during the period of the year when mosquitoes (vectors), potentially carrying infective heartworm larvae, are active. The initial dose must be given within a month (30 days) after the dog’s first exposure to mosquitoes. The final dose must be given within a month (30 days) after the dog’s last exposure to mosquitoes.
When replacing another heartworm preventive product in a heartworm disease preventive program, the first dose of IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables must be given within a month (30 days) of the last dose of the former medication.
If the interval between doses exceeds a month (30 days), the efficacy of ivermectin can be reduced. Therefore, for optimal performance, the flavored chewable must be given once a month on or about the same day of the month. If treatment is delayed, whether by a few days or many, immediate treatment with IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables and resumption of the recommended dosing regimen will minimize the opportunity for the development of adult heartworms.
Monthly treatment with IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables also provides effective treatment and control of ascarids (T. canis, T. leonina) and hookworms (A. caninum, U. stenocephala, A. braziliense). Clients should be advised of measures to be taken to prevent reinfection with intestinal parasites.
Precautions:
All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment with IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables, which are not effective against adult D. immitis. Infected dogs must be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a program with IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables.
While some microfilariae may be killed by the ivermectin in IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables at the recommended dose level, IVERHART PLUS Flavored Chewables are not effective for microfilariae clearance. A mild hypersensitivity-type reaction, presumably due to dead or dying microfilariae and particularly involving a transient diarrhea, has been observed in clinical trials with ivermectin alone after treatment of some dogs that have circulating microfilariae.
Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children.
In case of ingestion by humans, clients should be advised to contact a physician immediately.
Physicians may contact a Poison Control Center for advice concerning cases of ingestion by humans.
Store at 20°C - 25°C (68°F - 77°F), excursions permitted between 15°C - 30°C (59°F - 86°F). Protect product from light.
