About Milbemax for Dogs

Worms are common in dogs of every age. They rob nutrients, upset the gut and some can pass to people.

Milbemax for Dogs is a tablet from Elanco that contains milbemycin oxime and praziquantel. Milbemycin oxime kills roundworms, hookworms and whipworms, and prevents heartworm. Praziquantel kills tapeworms.

It is used for roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms and heartworm prevention. Ask your vet whether it suits your dog, especially if your dog has a health condition or takes other medicines.

Features and Benefits

Tablet form. Easy to store, and you can hide it in a small piece of food if your vet allows.

How It Works

Milbemycin oxime. It paralyses the nerves of worms and larvae.
Praziquantel. It damages the tapeworm's outer skin and causes its muscles to cramp, so the worm detaches and is digested.

How to Use

Dose. Follow the dose on the pack or the amount your vet advises for your dog's weight.
Giving a tablet. Place it at the back of the tongue, close the mouth gently and stroke the throat until your pet swallows. You can also hide it in a small piece of food if your vet says this is fine.
Storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, unless the pack gives other storage directions. Keep out of reach of children.

Safety and Precautions

Dogs should be tested for heartworm before starting, because killing many larvae at once can cause a reaction.
This product is labelled for dogs. Do not use it on cats or other animals unless your vet says so.
Tell your vet about any other medicines your dog takes, and if your dog is pregnant, nursing or has liver or kidney problems.
