Useful:

• Description: Milbemycin is an oral medication used as a dewormer and heartworm preventive. This medication should not be used in doses higher than the recommended heartworm prevention dose, except under veterinary supervision. Studies support the safety of milbemycin products in Collies and other breeds prone to the MDR-1 gene mutation when used at the recommended heartworm prevention dose.
• Uses: Milbemycin Oxime is active against a broad spectrum of nematodes, although it is less potent against heartworms than ivermectin. Its miticide spectrum includes Sarcoptes and Demodex. The USA FDA approval for milbemycin oxime as formulated alone does not indicate insecticidal activity. The substance is often combined with other parasiticides to achieve a broader spectrum of action. Such products include: Milbemax (with praziquantel) Sentinel Flavor Tabs (with lufenuron) Recently the drug has been used in marine reef aquaria to control parasitic harptacoid copepod (Tegastidae) infestations on captive hard coral colonies. It is an effective full tank treatment for these parasites because it is not toxic to corals in the dosage required to kill the parasites. Shrimps, crabs and other crustaceans should be removed prior to treatment, as they will be killed by the treatment. Intestinal parasite deworming in dogs and for heartworm prevention in dogs and cats. Milbemycin oxime is a semi-synthetic macrocyclic lactone prepared by the oxidation and oximation of a mixture of two natural products, milbemycin A3 and A4 (in ~30:70 ratio). Milbemycin oxime is used therapeutically for the prevention of intestinal parasites in dogs. Like the other milbemycin/avermectins, it was developed for intestinal parasite control in animals and acts by opening glutamate sensitive chloride channels in neurons of invertebrates leading to paralysis by hyperpolarisation of these cells and signal transfer blocking. controls intestinal parasites in animals
• Drug Interactions: Milbemycin should not used in combination with cyclosporine, quinidine or ketoconazole.
