Manufacturer
Value Plus
Directions for Use
Administer Valuheart once a month throughout the year to prevent heartworm disease. The dosage is determined by the dog's weight:
- Up to 10 kg: 60 mcg - 1 tablet from the blue pack
- 11-20 kg: 120 mcg - 1 tablet from the green pack
- 21-40 kg: 240 mcg - 1 tablet from the yellow pack
- Dogs over 40 kg are given an appropriate combination of tablets.
Cautions
Valuheart should not be administered to puppies under 6 weeks of age. Avoid giving this medication to animals with a known allergy to Ivermectin. It's crucial to test for heartworm prior to initiating preventive therapy. If the dog hasn't been on Ivermectin for 6 months or less, start the medication and test after 6 months. This is because microfilariae, which mature in 6 months, might yield a positive test result.
Possible Side Effects
At the recommended dosage, Ivermectin rarely results in side effects. Valuheart is safe for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages (from 6 weeks). It's also suitable for small dogs irrespective of their weight, pregnant or breeding females, and stud dogs. Some dogs with high circulating microfilariae levels may experience transient diarrhoea post-treatment.
