For heartworm prevention, administer MILBEMAX once per month on the same day. For heartworm prevention, the initial dose must be given within one month after the first indication of mosquito activity and regular dosing should continue until at least one month after the end of the mosquito season. If the interval between doses exceeds 30 days, the efficacy of MILBEMAX may be reduced. If regular monthly treatment is delayed, it is essential to immediately recommence treatment at the recommended dosage rate. If treatment has been delayed beyond two months, the advice of a veterinarian should be sought. For hookworm, roundworm, and tapeworm infections, control will be obtained in conjunction with heartworm prevention, or by separate administration of MILBEMAX. Kittens should be treated at 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks of age, then monthly up to 6 months. In non-heartworm endemic areas, adult cats should be treated 4 times per year, or as directed by the veterinarian.
