MILPRO TAB CAT TABLET 4'S

• Each Milpro tablet (for cats) contains:
   • Milbemycin oxime 16 mg 
   • Praziquantel 40 mg 

• Tablets are film-coated, flavored (meat / liver flavor) to enhance palatability for cats.

• Tablets are scored (can be divided into halves) to allow dosing flexibility. 

Indications / Uses

Milpro is indicated in cats for:

• Treatment and control of intestinal nematodes (roundworms, e.g. Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina)

• Treatment and control of cestodes (tapeworms), e.g. Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., Echinococcus spp. 

• Prevention of heartworm disease (when used monthly and when treatment against tapeworms is also required) in cats (i.e. as a combined wormer) 

In short: it is a broad-spectrum dewormer for common intestinal worms plus has preventative potential for heartworm when appropriately used.

Dosage & Administration

• Route: Oral (by mouth) With or after food: The tablet should be given with or just after a meal to aid absorption.

• Dose rate: Minimum recommended dose is 2 mg milbemycin oxime and 5 mg praziquantel per kg body weight in a single dose. 

• Practical dosing (based on cat weight) 

• Note: The tablet can be split if needed (scored) to adjust dose for intermediate weights.

• Frequency:
   • For routine deworming in adult cats: every ~3 months (quarterly) is often recommended. 
   • For kittens: at ages 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks, then monthly until 6 months of age. 
   • For heartworm prevention: monthly if used as combined therapy. 

Warnings, Contraindications & Side Effects

• Debilitated / organ‑compromised animals: Use caution or only under veterinary risk/benefit assessment in cats with impaired kidney or liver disease.

• Overdose / Adverse reactions:
   • In rare cases, especially in young cats, neurological signs (tremors, ataxia), lethargy, gastrointestinal signs (vomiting, diarrhoea) may appear at excessive doses. 
   • Symptoms usually transient and resolve within a day in reported overdoses. 

• Zoonotic caution: Some tapeworm species (e.g. Echinococcus) are zoonotic; if present, take precautions to prevent transmission to humans and follow veterinary guidelines. 

• Concurrent macrocyclic lactones: Avoid use simultaneously with other macrocyclic lactone antiparasitics (unless veterinary advice) because of possible interaction / additive effects.
