It is a prescription medication available for use in dogs, requiring a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship before it can be dispensed. It is frequently considered in the context of parasite prevention for patients presented with a risk of heartworms, intestinal worms and tapeworms.

At a pharmacological level, milbemycin oxime manages the nervous system of specific worms while praziquantel manages the cell membrane permeability of tapeworms. Commonly observed effects are rare but may include localized digestive changes such as vomiting or diarrhea. A significant clinical consideration is the requirement for a negative heartworm test before starting the medication. Owners should monitor their pet for any unusual behavioral shifts and contact their veterinarian promptly with any concerns regarding the patient's response to the medication.
