Precautions

Prior to administration of Selarid, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms. Selarid is not effective against adult D. immitis and,
while the number of circulating microfilariae may decrease following treatment, Selarid is not effective for microfilariae clearance. Hypersensitivity reactions have not been observed in dogs with patent heartworm infections administered three times the
recommended dose of selamectin solution. Higher doses were not tested.

Food and Drug Interactions

In well-controlled clinical studies, selamectin solution was used safely in dogs and cats receiving other veterinary products such as vaccines, anthelmintics, antiparasitics,
antibiotics, steroids, collars, shampoos and dips. Tell your veterinarian about all medicines you have given your dog or cat in the past, and any medicines that you
are planning to use with Selarid. This should include other medicines that you can get without a prescription. Your veterinarian may want to check that all of your
dog’s or cat’s medicines can be given together.
