Overview

Milbemax® Worming Tablets for Dogs is a small, chicken-flavoured tablet combining milbemycin oxime and praziquantel for broad-spectrum intestinal worm control. Each dose treats and controls all four major gut worms — roundworms, hookworms, whipworm and tapeworms — and when given monthly also prevents heartworm disease.

For intestinal worm control, adult dogs are treated every three months. For heartworm prevention, dose monthly. In hydatid tapeworm areas, monthly dosing is recommended. Puppies should be treated at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks, then transition to the adult schedule.

Safe from 2 weeks of age and 0.5 kg, and approved for breeding, pregnant and lactating dogs including Collie breeds. Available in two sizes: small dogs and puppies (0.5–5 kg) and dogs over 5 kg.
