Milprazon Worming Chewable for Cats

Milprazon Chewable Tablets for Small Cats and Kittens—Gastro-intestinal Worming Treatment

Milprazon is a multi-parasite wormer for cats and kittens. It is effective against various major gastro-intestinal worms. It is a combination of two active ingredients, milbemycin oxime and praziquantel that provide protection against immature and adult stages of roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms in cats and kittens. Moreover, it can also be used for the monthly prevention of heartworm disease.

The oral chewable tablet has been designed in an easy-to-swallow formulation with a highly palatable flavor. These potent flavored worming tables are safe and effective to be used in pregnant, lactating and breeding small cats and kittens 6 weeks of age and weighing 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) or more.

How does it work?

Milprazon is formulated with two active ingredients; Milbemycin oxime and Praziquantel.

The activity of milbemycin is related to its action on invertebrate neurotransmission. It increases nematode and insect membrane permeability to chloride ions via glutamate-gated chloride ion channels. This leads to hyper-polarization of the neuromuscular membrane and flaccid paralysis and death of the parasite.

Praziquantel is an acylated pyrazino-isoquinoline derivative. It modifies the permeability for calcium in the membranes of the parasite inducing an imbalance in the membrane structures, leading to membrane depolarization and almost instantaneous contraction of the musculature, resulting in easier expulsion from the gastrointestinal tract or death of the parasite.
