Milpro Puppy and Dog Dewormer Tablets

Milpro

Brand Overview

Milpro is a chewable tablet combining milbemycin oxime and praziquantel to provide broad-spectrum parasite control in dogs. It targets heartworm prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal worms (roundworms, hookworms, whipworms) as well as tapeworms. Similar to Milbemax, Milpro is approved for puppies from two weeks of age (weighing at least 0.5 kg) and provides a palatable, convenient solution for routine deworming. Veterinary-endorsed in areas where multiple parasite species coexist, Milpro helps safeguard canine health and reduces zoonotic risk.

Key Benefits

Comprehensive protection: Milbemycin oxime eliminates heartworm larvae and common nematodes; praziquantel eradicates tapeworms. Puppy-safe: Suitable from two weeks of age for early parasite management. One-tapeworm treatment: Praziquantel kills Dipylidium caninum and Taenia spp. quickly. Monthly convenience: One tablet per month addresses multiple parasites, streamlining preventive regimens.

Usage & Dosage

Administer Milpro at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg milbemycin oxime and 5 mg/kg praziquantel:

• Milpro Small Puppy (0.5 – 3 kg): One 1 mg/5 mg tablet monthly.
• Milpro Medium Dog (3 – 6 kg): One 2 mg/10 mg tablet monthly.
• Milpro Large Dog (6 – 12 kg): One 5 mg/25 mg tablet monthly.
• Milpro Extra Large Dog (12 – 25 kg): One 10 mg/50 mg tablet monthly.
• Milpro Giant Dog (> 25 kg): Use appropriate combination of tablets to achieve correct dose; consult packaging or veterinarian.

Administer with food to improve absorption and minimise gastrointestinal upset. If vomiting occurs within one hour, re-dose with a full tablet. Do not exceed one monthly dose. Store Milpro tablets in original blister packs at room temperature away from moisture and direct sunlight. For severe or mixed infestations, consult your veterinarian for an optimised dosing schedule.

Safety & Considerations

Milpro is generally well tolerated; transient side effects may include vomiting, diarrhoea, or lethargy. Monitor dogs with a history of seizures closely, as milbemycin oxime may lower seizure threshold. Do not use in dogs weighing under 0.5 kg or puppies younger than two weeks. Pregnant and lactating bitches can receive Milpro under veterinary supervision. Avoid using other milbemycin-containing products concurrently to prevent overdose. Keep unused tablets out of reach of children and other pets. In case of accidental overdose or severe adverse reactions, seek veterinary care promptly. Confirm heartworm-negative status annually before continuing monthly prevention.
