Warding Off Intestinal Parasites

Trifexis® (spinosad + milbemycin oxime) protects dogs against three types of intestinal parasites: roundworm, hookworm and whipworm. These parasites are found in many areas around the United States, living and reproducing in animal feces and in infected soil that dogs can access.

Intestinal parasites can affect your dog in various ways, such as weight loss, diarrhea, vomiting, and even intestinal inflammation or blockage. In the most severe cases, intestinal parasite infection can kill your pet1.

Moreover, intestinal parasites can be contracted by humans through contact with an infected environment, potentially resulting in serious health issues2.

Important Safety Information

Serious adverse reactions have been reported following concomitant extra-label use of ivermectin with spinosad alone, one of the components of Trifexis chewable tablets.

Treatment with fewer than three monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes may not provide complete heartworm prevention. Prior to administration of Trifexis, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection. Use with caution in breeding females. The safe use of Trifexis in breeding males has not been evaluated. Use with caution in dogs with pre-existing epilepsy.

The most common adverse reactions reported were vomiting, depression/lethargy, itching, decreased appetite, and diarrhea. To ensure heartworm prevention, observe your dog for one hour after administration. If vomiting occurs within an hour of administration, redose with another full dose. Puppies less than 14 weeks of age may experience a higher rate of vomiting.
