Manufacturer
Merial
Directions for Use
Heartgard (Ivermectin) is given once a month year round for the prevention of heartworm disease. The usual dose of ivermectin in dogs up to 25 lb is 68mcg – 1 tablet from blue pack, for 26-50 lb is 136mcg – 1 tablet from green pack and for 51-100 lb is 272mcg – 1 tablet from brown pack. Dogs over 100 lb are given a combination of the tablets.
Cautions
This medication should not be used in animals allergic to it. Heartworm testing should be performed prior to the start of prevention therapy. If the animal is off ivermectin for 6 months or less, start the medication and test after 6 months since microfilaria, which take 6 months to mature, may result in a positive test result.
Possible Side Effects
The side effects of ivermectin are rare at the recommended dosage. Heartgard Tablets has a wide margin of safety for all sizes and breeds of dogs. It is approved for use in puppies as young as 6 weeks, small dogs regardless of weight, pregnant or breeding bitches, stud dogs, and Collies.

Heartgard
I have used Heartgard for all my doggies, past and present. My doggie now takes it with no problem. Wish other medicine he takes for Ticks and Fleas was as apparently tasty to him as Heartgard. Be prepared for an extended wait to receive if you are in the US. Order before you actually need it.

Been using this for years
We've been using this medication of our dogs for all their life and they are now 14 years old. Never had a problem with heartworms.
