Product Description
Parasedge Multi for Dogs 20.1-55 lbs (Red Box) is a once-a-month prescription topical solution with 10% imidacloprid and 2.5% moxidectin, for dogs and puppies at least 7 weeks old weighing 20.1 to 55 lbs. Applied once monthly, it prevents heartworm, treats microfilariae, kills adult fleas, controls sarcoptic mange, and clears hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms in one spot-on dose.

Benefits
- Heartworm Prevention: Protects medium-sized dogs against heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis with consistent once-monthly topical application.
- Microfilariae Treatment: Treats circulating Dirofilaria immitis microfilariae in heartworm-positive dogs, reducing microfilaria counts significantly following monthly treatment.
- Kills Adult Fleas: Eliminates adult fleas on dogs and treats active flea infestations, including in dogs dealing with flea allergy dermatitis.
- Sarcoptic Mange Control: Treats sarcoptic mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis effectively, with a second monthly dose available if further treatment is needed.
- Broad Intestinal Worm Coverage: Clears hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms in dogs with a single monthly topical dose applied to the skin.
- Water-Resistant Formula: Shampooing 90 minutes after use does not reduce heartworm efficacy, and bathing 4 days later keeps flea protection intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What parasites does Parasedge Multi for Dogs 20.1-55 lbs (Red Box) treat?
Ans: For medium dogs, Parasedge Multi (Red Box) handles heartworm prevention, microfilariae, adult fleas, sarcoptic mange, and intestinal worms like hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms, all with just one monthly dose.
Q2: Is Parasedge Multi the same as Advantage Multi for Dogs?
Ans: Parasedge Multi and Advantage Multi use imidacloprid 10% and moxidectin 2.5% in the same amounts. As an FDA-approved generic, Parasedge Multi gives dogs the same level of parasite protection but costs dog owners a lot less.
Q3: Can I bathe my dog after applying Parasedge Multi red box topical solution?
Ans: Bathing your dog 90 minutes after applying keeps heartworm protection fully intact. Flea treatment stays effective even with a bath or swim 4 days after use, but try to limit baths to once a week as frequent washing can gradually lower flea control.
Q4: Is Parasedge Multi imidacloprid moxidectin solution safe for Collie breeds?
Ans: Collies and Collie mixes may have an MDR1 gene mutation that makes them more reactive to avermectins. Topical use appears safe, but swallowing this product can lead to serious nerve-related harm. Check with your vet before starting treatment.
Q5: What is the minimum age and weight for using Parasedge Multi for dogs?
Ans: Any pet younger than 7 weeks or lighter than 3 lbs should not receive this treatment under any circumstances. Applying it to younger or lighter puppies is not safe, as product safety for them has not been confirmed.
