How does Interceptor Plus for Dogs work?
Manufactured by Elanco, Interceptor Plus Oral Dewormer is formulated with milbemycin oxime and praziquantel as its key ingredients. When administered orally as directed, milbemycin oxime interferes with the nerve transmission of roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and heartworm larvae, leading to their elimination. Praziquantel is a powerful anthelmintic that eliminates tapeworms in dogs.
