Milpro is indicated for the treatment and control of larval and adult stages of gastro-intestinal worms such as hookworms (Ancylostoma tubaeforme), roundworms (Toxocara cati and Toxascaris leonina) and for the treatment and control of all stages of tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum, Joyeuxiella pasqualei, Taenia spp., Echinococcus spp., Mesocestoides spp.) in Cats.
Directions For Use
Use only as directed. Kittens should be treated with Milpro at the age of 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks of age, and then monthly up to 6 months of age. Nursing queens should be treated at the same time as their kittens.
Depending on the body mass of the cat, practical dosing is as follows:

Efficacy
Milpro tablets contain milbemycin oxime, a nematode neurotransmission inhibitor, leading to paralysis of gastrointestinal nematodes and their subsequent expulsion, as well as praziquantel, a cestocide that interferes with muscular calcium metabolism of cestodes, leading to muscular contraction in these parasites and their expulsion or death. Milpro has been shown to be effective in treating mixed infections of immature and mature cestodes and nematodes of the following species: Cestodes Dipylidium caninum Joyeuxiella pasqualei Taenia spp. Echinococcus spp. Nematodes Ancylostoma tubaeforme Toxocara cati Toxascaris leonina.
Warnings
For animal use only. Do not use in cats of less than 6 weeks of age and/or weighing less than 0,5 kg. Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals. Although this remedy has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek veterinary advice and notify the registration holder.
Precautions
During treatment with Milpro, no other antiparasitic macrocyclic lactones should be administered concomitantly. Wash hands after use. Do no contaminate water courses, as milbemycin may be harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms.
