How long does Milbemax take to kill worms?

Typically, the active ingredients in Milbemax start to affect worms within a few hours of administration. Milbemax begins to kill adult worms within 24 to 48 hours. Some worms, like heartworms, have larval stages which can be affected by the medicine as well. Milbemax prevents these larvae from maturing into adult worms.

How often should Milbemax be given to dogs and cats?

The frequency at which Milbemax should be administered to dogs and cats largely depends on several factors: the animal's age, lifestyle, the local prevalence of parasites, and your veterinarian's recommendations.

Life Stage Dosing Schedule
Puppies and Kittens - Every 2 weeks from 2 weeks of age until 12 weeks.
- Monthly from 12 weeks to 6 months of age.
- Thereafter, it can be reduced to once every 3 months or as advised by your veterinarian.
Adult Dogs and Cats - Generally, administer Milbemax once every 3 months to protect against common intestinal worms.
- For heartworm prevention in dogs, give monthly without missing doses.
Breeding Dogs and Cats - May need to administer Milbemax more frequently, especially before mating, before whelping or birth, and then regularly as advised by a veterinarian.
