Product indications:
Interceptor® is an oral tablet used to prevent heartworm disease, control adult hookworms and remove and control adult roundworm infections in cats and dogs. Interceptor® is also effective in removing and controlling whipworm infections in dogs.
Dosage and administration:
Give your pet one tablet each month, preferably on the same date, or as otherwise directed by your veterinarian. The tablet can be given by hand as a treat, offered in food, or given as any other tablet medications. Ensure that the pet consumes the whole dose.
Heartworm is transmitted via mosquitoes, so for effective heartworm prevention the first dose of Interceptor should be given to your pet within one month of the beginning of mosquito season and then monthly until the end of that season.
Warnings, side effects and potential drug interactions:
Interceptor can be used safely with puppies more than four weeks of age and weighing more than two pounds, and kittens more than six weeks old and weighing more than 1.5 pounds.
Dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections before commencing Interceptor if they have not been given any previous heartworm control, as allergic reactions can occur if the product is given to animals suffering from an active heartworm infection.
Safe use with breeding, pregnant and lactating cats has not been established.
On rare occasions, the following adverse effects have been observed in animals dosed with Interceptor: depression, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, salivation, weakness, unsteadiness, loss of appetite or seizures. Should any adverse effects be noted during treatment, Interceptor dosing should be discontinued and a veterinarian contacted for assistance.
