Administer the appropriate combination of tablets |
Administer TRIFEXIS with food for maximum effectiveness. To ensure heartworm prevention, owners should observe the dog for one hour after dosing. If vomiting occurs within an hour of administration, redose with another full dose. If a dose is messed and a monthly interval between doses is exceeded, then immediate administration of TRIFEXIS with food and resumption of monthly dosing will minimize the opportunity for the development of adult heartworm infections and flea reinfestations.
TRIFEXIS should be administered at monthly intervals
beginning within 1 month of the dog’s first seasonal exposure and
continuing until at least 3 months after the dog’s last seasonal
exposure to mosquitoes. TRIFEXIS
may be administered year round without interruption. When replacing
another heartworm preventative product, the first dose of TRIFEXIS
should be given within a month of the last dose of the former
medication.
Treatment with TRIFEXIS may begin at any time of the year, preferably starting one month before fleas become active and continuing monthly through the end of flea season. In areas where fleas are common year-round, monthly treatment with TRIFEXIS should continue the entire year without interruption.
To minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, it is
important to treat all animals within a household with an approved flea
protection product.
TRIFEXIS also provides treatment and control of roundworms (T. canis, T. leonina), hookworms (A. caninum) and whipworms (T. vulpis).
Dogs may be exposed to and can become infected with roundworms,
whipworms and hookworms throughout the year, regardless of season or
climate. Clients should be advised of measures to be taken to prevent
reinfection with intestinal parasites.
