Safety Information
Warnings
Use on dogs only.
Precautions
All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment with Tri-Heart® Plus which is not effective against adult D. immitis. Infected dogs must be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a program with Tri-Heart® Plus.
While some microfilariae may be killed by the ivermectin in Tri-Heart® Plus at the recommended dose level, Tri-Heart® Plus is not effective for microfilariae clearance. A mild hypersensitivity-type reaction, presumably due to dead or dying microfilariae and particularly involving a transient diarrhea has been observed in clinical trials with ivermectin alone after treatment of some dogs that have circulating microfilariae.
Food and Drug Interactions
Be sure to tell your veterinarian what medications and supplements you give your pet.
When replacing another heartworm preventive product in a heartworm disease preventive program, the first dose of Tri-Heart® Plus must be given within a month (30 days) of the last dose of the former medication.
Human Warnings
Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.
