Complete Protection in One Tablet
Lotilaner kills fleas and ticks through the bloodstream. Milbemycin oxime prevents heartworm disease and clears roundworm, hookworm and whipworm. Together they replace the usual stack of a spot-on, a wormer and a heartworm preventive with a single monthly chew.
Elanco brought this combination to India recently. The lotilaner molecule has been in international use considerably longer.
Parasites Covered
Fleas, ticks, heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) prevention, roundworm, hookworm and whipworm.
Practical Notes for Owners
Give with food for proper absorption of the milbemycin component. The chew is flavoured for voluntary acceptance. Bathing and swimming do not affect it, since nothing sits on the coat.
