Virbac Milpr meat-flavored anthelmintic tablet for adult cats to treat and control gastrointestinal roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms - 24 Tablets

Product Overview

Milpro Cat is a broad-spectrum, meat-flavored film-coated anthelmintic tablet formulated for adult cats to treat and control gastrointestinal roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms.

• Active Ingredients: Milbemycin oxime and praziquantel.
• Target Species: Cats weighing more than 2 kg.
• Presentation: Oval-shaped, red to pink, meat-flavored film-coated tablets with score lines on both sides for easy splitting.
• Core Purpose: Provides comprehensive treatment and control of immature, larval, and adult stages of gastrointestinal nematodes and cestodes.

Active Composition and Mechanism of Efficacy

• Milpro Cat tablets combine two active ingredients with distinct antiparasitic mechanisms:
• Milbemycin Oxime: Contains 16 mg per adult cat tablet. Acts as a nematode neurotransmission inhibitor, causing paralysis of gastrointestinal roundworms and hookworms, leading to their expulsion.
• Praziquantel: Contains 40 mg per adult cat tablet. Acts as a cestocide that interferes with muscular calcium metabolism in tapeworms, causing muscular contraction and parasite expulsion or death.
• Spectrum of Efficacy: Effective against hookworms (Ancylostoma tubaeforme), roundworms (Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina), and all stages of tapeworms (Dipylidium caninum, Joyeuxiella pasqualei, Taenia species, Echinococcus species, and Mesocestoides species).

Indications, Precautions, and Safety Warnings

• Age and Weight Restrictions: Do not use in kittens under 6 weeks of age or weighing less than 0.5 kg. Adult cat strength is designed for cats weighing more than 2 kg.
• Zoonotic Hazard: Echinococcus species represent a health hazard for humans. Follow specific treatment and safety protocols if present.
• Concomitant Antiparasitics: Do not administer other antiparasitic macrocyclic lactones concurrently during Milpro® treatment.
• Special Populations: Use in severely debilitated cats or animals with impaired renal or hepatic function requires a veterinarian risk-benefit assessment.
• Overdose Signs: Transient tremors and ataxia may occur at dosages 6.5 times higher than recommended, typically resolving within 24 hours.
