Interceptor® Flavour Tabs for Dogs and Cats

Qué es Interceptor® y cómo funciona

Interceptor® Flavour Tabs contain milbemycin oxime, a veterinary antiparasitic. Milbemycin oxime is a macrocyclic lactone that targets heartworm larvae (Dirofilaria immitis) and select intestinal worms. In dogs, it prevents heartworm disease and controls adult hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm. In cats, it prevents heartworm disease and treats adult hookworm and roundworm. The tablets are given once a month. From Canada, ships to the US, this cross-border model can help pet owners access steady supply with transparent pricing.

After dosing, milbemycin oxime disrupts nerve transmission in targeted parasites. This leads to paralysis and death of susceptible worms. Routine monthly dosing reduces the chance of established infection by heartworms and helps keep intestinal worm burdens low over time.

Para quién es Interceptor

Interceptor Flavour Tabs are indicated for healthy dogs and cats as directed on the label. Veterinarians prescribe it to prevent heartworm disease and control listed intestinal parasites. Many clinics recommend year-round prevention in regions where mosquitoes are active for much of the year.

Avoid use in animals with a known hypersensitivity to milbemycin oxime or inactive ingredients. Use caution in debilitated or underweight animals. Discuss use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating animals with a veterinarian. Herding breeds with MDR1 gene variants may be more sensitive to macrocyclic lactones at elevated exposures; follow label dosing and veterinary advice.

Testing for existing heartworm infection is recommended for dogs before starting a preventive program or after lapses. Cats may also be tested based on local risk and vet guidance.

Posología y utilización

Give Interceptor Flavour Tabs once monthly, on the same date each month when possible. Select the tablet strength based on the animal’s current weight per label. The tablet can be offered by hand, placed with a small amount of food, or administered after feeding. Confirm the entire dose is consumed. If a portion is dropped or spit out, offer a new full tablet to ensure complete dosing.

Start prevention before the period of peak mosquito exposure when possible. Continue monthly dosing throughout the risk season and as advised by the veterinarian. Many clinics recommend year-round dosing for consistent protection. Dogs should be tested for heartworm before starting or restarting after a significant gap.

Fortalezas y formas

Interceptor Flavour Tabs are chewable tablets formulated for dogs and cats. Commonly published strengths include 2.3 mg, 5.75 mg, 11.5 mg, and 23 mg of milbemycin oxime. Color codes and sizes vary by weight range and species. Availability may vary by pack size and strength.

Typical pack sizes include 6 pack and 12 pack options for ongoing prevention. Listings may show both Interceptor Flavour Tabs and Interceptor Flavor Tabs spellings; both refer to the same product line.

Dosis omitida y momento oportuno

If a monthly dose is missed, give the tablet as soon as it is remembered. Resume the regular monthly schedule thereafter. If more than one month has elapsed, consult a veterinarian about testing and when to restart. Consistent monthly dosing offers the most reliable prevention.

Almacenamiento y viaje

Store tablets in the original packaging at room temperature, away from excessive heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and other animals. When traveling, you can carry tablets in the sealed blister or carton. No cold chain is required. For site logistics, you can choose prompt or express shipping during checkout.

Beneficios

Key benefits of Interceptor Flavour Tabs include:

• Monthly prevention of heartworm disease in dogs and cats
• Control or treatment of hookworm and roundworm in dogs and cats
• Control of whipworm in dogs
• Chewable tablet that many pets accept
• Available across multiple strengths to match weight ranges
• Can be used as part of a comprehensive parasite control plan

Note that Interceptor does not kill fleas or ticks. A separate flea and tick product may be added if needed based on the pet’s environment.

Efectos secundarios y seguridad

Most pets tolerate milbemycin oxime well at labeled doses. Commonly reported effects are usually mild and transient:

• Vómitos o heces blandas
• Disminución del apetito
• Letargo
• Drooling
• Incoordination or trembling (uncommon)
• Itching or skin irritation (uncommon)

Serious reactions are rare but can include neurologic signs, severe vomiting, or collapse. Dogs with existing heartworm infection may experience microfilariae reactions after the first dose. Veterinary evaluation is important before starting prevention if infection is possible due to lapses. Seek urgent veterinary care if concerning signs occur.

Interacciones medicamentosas y precauciones

Provide a full medication list to the veterinarian before starting prevention. Macrocyclic lactones have potential additive effects with other drugs in this class. High-dose ivermectin used for mange should not be combined without veterinary oversight. Use caution with drugs that affect P-glycoprotein transport, especially in sensitive breeds. Interactions are uncommon at label doses but should be assessed for each pet’s regimen.

Qué esperar con el tiempo

With monthly use, the risk of heartworm disease declines compared with unprotected pets. Intestinal parasite burdens are controlled for labeled species and worms. Some pets may never show visible worms in stool because many parasites are microscopic or shed intermittently. Regular fecal checks help confirm control. Ongoing prevention works best when integrated with vet-guided testing and environmental measures.

Comparar con alternativas

For dogs needing broader intestinal coverage including tapeworms, a veterinarian may consider Interceptor Plus®, which adds praziquantel. For cats needing heartworm prevention plus flea and tick control, Revolution Plus® offers multi-parasite protection. Tapeworm-specific therapy is also common in some cases; learn more in this overview: Droncit para perros y gatos. A veterinarian can help match the spectrum of activity to the pet’s risk and household needs.

Disponibilidad y sustituciones

Supply can vary by strength and pack size. If a preferred Interceptor Flavour Tabs listing is unavailable, a veterinarian may recommend a different preventive with similar goals. For cats and young animals, selamectin options such as Revolution® Para Cachorros Gatitos may be considered. For dogs requiring separate tapeworm treatment, Drontal® Plus is widely used. For year-round flea and tick control in dogs alongside heartworm prevention, a dedicated ectoparasiticide such as Simparica may be paired under veterinary guidance.

Adecuación al paciente y consejos para ahorrar costes

Good candidates include healthy dogs and cats living in or traveling to areas with mosquito exposure. Pets on monthly prevention often benefit from fewer unexpected parasite treatments. Pets with chronic illness, neurologic disease, or low body weight require individual risk assessment.

• Ask the clinic about the most appropriate strength for current weight.
• Consider a 6 pack or 12 pack to maintain continuity and reduce per-dose cost.
• Set phone or calendar reminders for the monthly dosing date.
• Keep a spare dose on hand for travel months to prevent gaps.
• If switching products, coordinate timing to avoid overlap or gaps.

Where offered, generic milbemycin oxime tablets for dogs or cats may lower costs. Exact generic availability can vary by market and time. This product listing focuses on the branded Interceptor Flavour Tabs. Equivalent coverage should be discussed with a veterinarian before any substitution.
