Safety of Credelio Quattro™ (lotilaner, moxidectin, praziquantel, and pyrantel chewable tablets) in dogs infected with adult heartworms (Dirofilaria immitis)
Credelio Quattro, when administered at 1× and 3× the maximum recommended label dose, was well tolerated following three consecutive monthly administrations to heartworm-positive dogs. Although Credelio Quattro caused a rapid reduction in microfilaria counts, no adverse effects related to microfilaria reduction were observed, and there was no effect on adult worms in this study.
