Parasedge Multi for Cats

Description

PARASEDGE™ Multi for Cats is a prescription, once-monthly topical parasite preventive formulated with imidacloprid and moxidectin. It helps prevent heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis, kills adult fleas, treats flea infestations, and controls common intestinal parasites and ear mites in cats and kittens.

Available in three weight-specific dosage strengths, PARASEDGE™ Multi provides broad-spectrum parasite protection in a convenient topical application. Monthly treatment helps protect cats from internal and external parasites while supporting year-round parasite prevention when used as directed by your veterinarian.

How It Works

PARASEDGE™ Multi combines two proven active ingredients.

Together, they provide comprehensive monthly parasite protection for cats.
