Midamox Topical Solution for Dogs 20.1–55 lbs

Fast-Acting Flea, Heartworm & Parasite Protection

Midamox Topical Solution for Dogs 20.1–55 lbs is a dual-action broad-spectrum parasiticide specifically designed to protect medium-sized dogs from a range of internal and external parasites. This easy-to-apply monthly topical treatment combines imidacloprid and moxidectin, two powerful active ingredients that work synergistically to kill fleas, prevent heartworm disease, and control intestinal worms like hookworms and roundworms.

Midamox offers protection for dogs weighing between 20.1 to 55 lbs and is ideal for pet parents seeking multi-parasite protection in one convenient, waterproof formula. Unlike other flea treatments that only target adult fleas, Midamox disrupts the flea life cycle at multiple stages—offering comprehensive control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does Midamox kill flea eggs and larvae too?

No, Midamox primarily targets adult fleas. While it reduces the population by killing adult fleas, for complete lifecycle control (including eggs and larvae), combining with an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) may be recommended.

Is a prescription required for Midamox?

Yes, Midamox is a prescription-only medication, as it contains moxidectin—a drug used for heartworm prevention—requiring veterinary authorization before purchase.

Can Midamox be used alongside other medications?

In most cases, yes. However, always consult your veterinarian before combining Midamox with other treatments, especially additional flea preventives, dewormers, or heartworm meds.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Midamox for my dog?

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, then resume monthly dosing from that new date. Do not double up the next dose—Midamox should only be applied once a month.

How do I store Midamox safely at home?

Store Midamox at room temperature between 59°F and 86°F (15°C–30°C), in its original packaging. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and away from direct sunlight or moisture.
