Indications 

Interceptor Spectrum Green Chewable is a monthly oral medication designed for small dogs weighing between 4kg and 11kg. It is used to prevent and control heartworm disease and also treats and controls common intestinal worms, including roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. 

The medication contains active ingredients (milbemycin oxime and praziquantel) that work together to eliminate heartworm larvae and control various intestinal worms by disrupting their nervous system and preventing their ability to survive and reproduce. 

The chewable tablet is flavored to make it more appealing to dogs and can be given directly or mixed with a small amount of food. Administer the correct dosage based on your dog’s weight, as overdosing or underdosing can affect the effectiveness of the medication.
