Interceptor Plus vs. the Competition:

What are the Ingredients in Interceptor Plus for Puppies?

Interceptor Plus contains two active ingredients:

• Milbemycin Oxime: This is an anthelmintic used to prevent heartworm disease and to treat and control roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Milbemycin oxime works by interfering with the nerve transmission in invertebrates, which paralyzes and eliminates the parasites.

• Praziquantel: An anthelmintic effective against tapeworms. Praziquantel works by increasing the cell membrane permeability of the parasite, leading to paralysis and death.

• Other inactive ingredients to make the chew palatable.
