Intestinal Worm Treatment And Control

Tapeworm Control
- Control of tapeworm is achieved through the action of afoxolaner
- Afoxolaner, due to its rapid speed of killing fleas, effectively prevents maturation of the immature stage, and therefore prevents flea tapeworm infestation
Mange Treatment and Control
- Treats and controls demodectic mange caused by Demodex spp., sarcoptic mange (scabies) caused by Sarcoptes scabiei, and otodectic mange (ear mite infestations) caused by Otodectes cynotis
