Program Plus Tablets
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
In heartworm risk regions, or if it is known that a dog has been travelling to and from heartworm risk regions, before commencing PROGRAM PLUS treatment as with any other heartworm preventive, a veterinary consultation is advised to exclude the presence of any concurrent infestation of Dirofilaria immitis. In the case of a positive diagnosis, adulticidal therapy is indicated before administering PROGRAM PLUS.
Pale mucous membranes and increased intestinal peristalsis have been observed in some dogs after treatment. The treatment of dogs with a high number of circulating microfilariae can sometimes lead to the appearance of moderate and transitory hypersensitivity reactions, such as pale mucous membranes, vomiting, laboured breathing, or excessive salivation. These reactions are associated with the release of proteins from dead or dying microfilariae and are not a direct toxic effect of the product.
If you notice any other side effects, please inform your veterinary surgeon.
