Dog Weight Pounds | Chew Per Month | Chew Size | Ivermectin Content | Pyrantel Pamoate Content | Praziquantel Content |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
6.0 to 12 | 1 | Toy | 34 mcg | 28.5 mg | 28.5 mg |
12.1 to 25 | 1 | Small | 68 mcg | 57 mg | 57 mg |
25.1 to 50 | 1 | Medium | 136 mg | 114 mg | 114 mg |

IVERHART MAX Chew is recommended for dogs 8 weeks of age or older. For dogs over 100 lbs, use the appropriate combination of these soft chews.
Remove only one dose at a time from the packaging. Return the remaining chew(s) to their box to protect from light. The chew can be offered to the dog by hand or added, intact, to a small amount of dog food. Care should be taken to ensure that the dog consumes the complete dose. The treated dog should be observed for a few minutes after administration to confirm that none of the dose has been lost or rejected. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost, redosing is recommended.
IVERHART MAX Chew 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 preventative product in a heartworm disease prevention program, the first dose of IVERHART MAX Chew must be given within a month (30 days) after the last dose of the former medication. A heartworm test should be performed prior to and 6 months after switching heartworm preventative products.
If the interval between doses exceeds a month (30 days), the effectiveness of ivermectin can be reduced. Therefore, for optimal performance, the chew 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 MAX Chew and resumption of the recommended dosing regimen will minimize the opportunity for the development of adult heartworms.
Warnings:
For use in dogs only. Keep this and all drugs out of reach of children and pets. In safety studies with ivermectin/pyrantel pamoate/praziquantel tablets, testicular hypoplasia was observed in some dogs receiving 3 and 5 times the maximum recommended dose monthly for 6 months.
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.
Precautions:
Use with caution in sick, debilitated, or underweight animals and dogs weighing less than 10 lbs (see Animal Safety). The safe use of this drug has not been evaluated in pregnant or lactating bitches.
All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before and 6 months after starting treatment with IVERHART MAX Chew, which is not effective against adult Dirofilaria immitis. Infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a heartworm prevention program.
While some microfilariae may be killed by the ivermectin in IVERHART MAX® Chew at the recommended dose level, IVERHART MAX Chew is 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.
