Milbemax 16/40mg Tablets for Adult Cats Pack of 4

Milbemax 16/40mg Tablets are formulated with two active ingredients, milbemycin oxime and praziquantel, providing a broad-spectrum approach to feline deworming. It's an essential part of maintaining your cat's health, targeting both immature and adult forms of tapeworms (cestodes) and roundworms (nematodes).

Comprehensive Feline Worm Protection

Regular worming is crucial for your cat's well-being and to prevent the spread of parasites. Milbemax 16/40mg Tablets effectively treat:

• Cestodes (Tapeworms): Including Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., and Echinococcus multilocularis.
• Nematodes (Roundworms): Such as Ancylostoma tubaeforme and Toxocara cati.

Beyond treatment, this product also aids in the prevention of heartworm disease (Dirofilaria immitis), especially when concomitant treatment against cestodes is indicated. This dual action helps safeguard your cat's heart and digestive health.

Why Choose Milbemax for Your Adult Cat?

Milbemax is a trusted choice among veterinary professionals for its efficacy and ease of administration. Administered orally, with or after some food, it ensures optimum protection. As a Prescription Only Medicine (POM-V), it must be prescribed by a veterinary surgeon, ensuring your cat receives the appropriate and safe treatment for their specific needs. Weldricks Pharmacy makes accessing your veterinary prescriptions straightforward and convenient.

Milbemax 16/40mg Tablets are given by oral administration with or after some food to ensure optimum protection against heartworm disease. The minimum recommended dose rate is 2 mg milbemycin oxime and 5 mg praziquantel per kg body weight.
