How does Interceptor work?

Interceptor dog treatment is formulated with milbemycin oxime as its active ingredient. This formula works by affecting the nervous system of targeted parasites, leading to their paralysis and death. Once ingested, milbemycin oxime is absorbed into the dog's bloodstream. It eliminates the tissue stage of heartworm larvae (Dirofilaria immitis), thus preventing heartworm disease. Its anthelmintic activity eliminates the adult stage of hookworms, roundworms and whipworm infections.

How is Interceptor different from Interceptor Plus (Interceptor Spectrum)?

Interceptor Plus contains milbemycin oxime and praziquantel and protects dogs from heartworm disease, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms.
