Excipients q.s.
Preventive treatment: 6 mcg/kg (1 tablet of Ivermectin every 40 kg). One single administration every 30 days (do not exceed this dosage interval) all year long for life. It can be administered with food. If it is suspected that the animal consumed only a part of the product, we recommend readministering the dose.
Do not administer doses higher than the microfilaricide ones to dogs with a mutation of the MDR-1 gene, which increases the blood-brain barrier permeability to macrocyclic lactones (collie, border collie, old English sheepdog or crossbreeds).

1) Acute reaction: Shock, generally 5 hours after administration. Provide treatment for shock.
2) Mild reaction: Anorexia, lethargy, mydriasis, ataxia, vomiting, cough and dyspnea. These signs are transient and appear 24-48 hours post treatment.
