What is Milbetel Dog Deworming Tablets used for?
Milbemycin oxime belongs to the macrocyclic lactone family. It is obtained through the fermentation of Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. aureolacrimosus and exhibits targeted activity against mites, nematodes in both larval and adult stages, as well as against the larvae of Dirofilaria immitis. Its mechanism of action involves interfering with neurotransmission in invertebrates. By increasing the permeability of membranes to chloride ions via glutamate-dependent channels, it causes hyperpolarization of the neuromuscular membrane, leading to flaccid paralysis and then the rapid and selective death of the parasite.
Praziquantel, an acetylated derivative of pyrazinoisoquinoline, acts on cestodes and trematodes. It alters the parasite’s membrane permeability to calcium, inducing rapid depolarization, intense muscle contractions, and damage to the tegument. This process facilitates the elimination of parasites through the gastrointestinal tract or leads to their destruction.
Milbetel Dog from Biocanina Laboratories combines these two active ingredients to provide a versatile, broad-spectrum dewormer intended for dogs weighing more than 5 kg. It is indicated for the treatment of mixed infestations with cestodes, such as Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., and Echinococcus multilocularis, as well as with nematodes such as Ancylostoma tubaeforme and Toxocara cati. This combination also helps prevent heartworm disease when treatment for flatworms is necessary.

Packaged in a box of two tablets, Milbetel Biocanina for dogs is an effective solution for deworming dogs weighing more than 5 kg. It is suitable for most dog breeds found in France, including Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Shepherds, Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Huskies, and Setters. However, certain small breeds whose adult weight remains below 5 kg require a dewormer specifically tailored to their needs.
The frequency of administration depends on the animal’s lifestyle, environment, and risk of parasite infestation—particularly if the dog spends time outdoors or lives with young children. It is recommended to follow a deworming schedule in accordance with veterinary guidelines and to seek advice from an animal health professional if necessary. Thanks to its meat flavor, the tablet is generally well-accepted by dogs and provides effective protection against roundworms and tapeworms for dogs weighing 5 kg or more.

Expert Advice and Recommendations:
To effectively protect a dog against internal parasites (intestinal worms) and external parasites (fleas, ticks, mosquitoes), veterinarians recommend regular prevention tailored to the dog’s lifestyle. Administer a dewormer every 1 to 3 months as recommended by your veterinarian. To combat external parasites, use spot-on treatments, collars, or antiparasitic tablets that remain effective for several weeks. Regularly inspect your dog’s coat, especially after a walk in a high-risk area. Also remember to treat their environment (bed, crate). Finally, avoid overdosing or mixing products, especially with puppies or sensitive dogs. Consistency is the key to effective protection.
