How does it work?
Credelio® PLUS offers monthly protection against a broad spectrum of parasites with just a single chewable tablet, combining two active ingredients to deliver tough but gentle protection for dogs and puppies.
The first active ingredient, lotilaner, is extra-purified 3 and absorbed into a dog’s blood stream rapidly to provide quick relief from existing ticks and fleas, while also providing immediate and persistent killing activity for one month for ticks and fleas. The second active ingredient, milbemycin oxime, delivers protection against adult and juvenile roundworm, while also preventing heartworm disease.
How to administer Credelio® PLUS
Administering Credelio® PLUS 1
For full efficacy in killing ticks and fleas, preventing heartworm disease, and the treatment of roundworm, instruct pet owners to always give their dog Credelio® PLUS with food or within 30 minutes of a meal. The presence of food helps ensure that peak blood levels and exposures are achieved, which is necessary for initial and ongoing efficacy.
Credelio® PLUS should be administered once a month, and continued based on parasite risk, to dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age or older or 1.4 kg or higher in weight in order to provide year-round protection.
