Following the use of HEARTGARD® Plus chews, digestive and neurologic side effects have been reported. For more information, contact your veterinarian or refer to the full prescribing information
What should I discuss with my veterinarian before giving HEARTGARD® Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) Heartworm Disease Preventative Chewables for Dogs to my pet?
All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment with HEARTGARD® PLUS which is not effective against adult D. immitis. Infected dogs must be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a program with HEARTGARD® PLUS.
How should HEARTGARD® Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) Heartworm Disease Preventative Chewables for Dogs be given?
Remove only one chewable at a time from the foil-backed blister card. Return the card with the remaining chewables to its box to protect the product from light. Because most dogs find HEARTGARD®® PLUS palatable, the product can be offered to the dog by hand. To avoid the risk of choking or intestinal obstruction, the chewable should be administered in a manner that encourages the dog to chew, rather than to swallow without chewing. Chewables may be broken into pieces and fed to dogs that normally swallow treats whole.
What happens if I miss giving a dose of HEARTGARD® Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) Heartworm Disease Preventative Chewables for Dogs?
If the interval between doses exceeds a month (30 days), the efficacy of ivermectin can be reduced. Therefore, for optimal performance, the chewable must be given once a month on or about the same day of the month. If treatment is delayed, whether by a few days or many, immediate treatment with HEARTGARD® PLUS and resumption of the recommended dosing regimen minimizes the opportunity for the development of adult heartworms.
What happens if I overdose my pet on HEARTGARD® Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) Heartworm Disease Preventative Chewables for Dogs?
Seek emergency veterinary medical treatment. Keep HEARTGARD® PLUS in a secure location out of reach of dogs, cats, and other animals to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose. In case of ingestion by humans, clients should be advised to contact a physician immediately. Physicians may contact a Poison Control Center for advice concerning cases of ingestion by humans.
What should I avoid while giving HEARTGARD® Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) Heartworm Disease Preventative Chewables for Dogs to my pet?
Avoid using HEARTGARD® Plus if your dog has had a known allergic reaction to ivermectin or pyrantel. Do not administer HEARTGARD® Plus if your dog has not been tested for heartworm disease. Dogs with active infections can experience severe adverse reactions to ivermectin. HEARTGARD® Plus is formulated specifically for dogs and should not be given to other animals, like cats or other pets.
What other drugs will affect HEARTGARD® Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) Heartworm Disease Preventative Chewables for Dogs?
When replacing another heartworm preventive product in a heartworm disease preventive program, the first dose of HEARTGARD® PLUS must be given within a month (30 days) of the last dose of the former medication.
