  HEARTSHIELD PLUS™ (ivermectin/pyrantel) Flavored Chewables should be administered orally at monthly intervals at the recommended minimum dose level of 6 mcg of ivermectin per kilogram (2.72 mcg/lb) and 5 mg of pyrantel (as pamoate salt) per kg (2.27 mg/lb) of body weight. The recommended dosing schedule for prevention of canine heartworm disease and for the treatment and control of ascarids and hookworms is as follows:

  Dog Weight Flavored Chewable Per Month Ivermectin Content Pyrantel Content Up to 25 lbs 1 68 mcg 57 mg 26 to 50 lbs 1 136 mcg 114 mg 51 to 100 lbs 1 272 mcg 227 mg

  HEARTSHIELD PLUS Flavored Chewables are recommended for dogs 6 weeks of age and older. For dogs over 100 lbs use the appropriate combination of these flavored chewables.

  Remove only one flavored chewable at a time from the foil-backed blister card. Because most dogs find HEARTSHIELD PLUS Flavored Chewables palatable, the product can be offered to the dog by hand. Alternatively, it may be added intact to a small amount of dog food or placed in the back of the dog's mouth for forced swallowing.

  Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed for a few minutes after administration to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or rejected. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost, redosing is recommended.

  HEARTSHIELD PLUS Flavored Chewables should be given at monthly intervals during the period of the year when mosquitoes (vectors), potentially carrying infective heartworm larvae, are active. The initial dose must be given within a month (30 days) after the dog's first exposure to mosquitoes. The final dose must be given within a month (30 days) after the dog's last exposure to mosquitoes.

  When replacing another heartworm preventive product in a heartworm disease preventive program, the first dose of HEARTSHIELD PLUS Flavored Chewables must be given within a month (30 days) of the last dose of the former medication.

  If the interval between doses exceeds a month (30 days), the efficacy of ivermectin can be reduced. Therefore, for optimal performance, the flavored chewable must be given once a month on or about the same day of the month. If treatment is delayed, whether by a few days or many, immediate treatment with HEARTSHIELD PLUS Flavored Chewables and resumption of the recommended dosing regimen minimizes the opportunity for the development of adult heartworms.

  Monthly treatment with HEARTSHIELD PLUS Flavored Chewables also provides effective treatment and control of ascarids (T. canis, T. leonina) and hookworms (A. caninum, U. stenocephala, A. braziliense). Clients should be advised of measures to be taken to prevent reinfection with intestinal parasites.
