Simparica Trio is a monthly liver-flavored chewable tablet for dogs. It protects against heartworm disease, ticks, fleas, flea tapeworms, roundworms and hookworms. The active ingredients are sarolaner, moxidectin and pyrantel.
It kills fleas before they can lay eggs. In studies, it started killing fleas within 4 hours and reached 100% effectiveness in 8 hours. It was the first combination preventative FDA-approved to kill six types of ticks, including the deer tick that may carry Lyme infections. In a study, 9 out of 10 dogs voluntarily consumed it.
It is given by mouth once a month, with or without food. It is dosed by body weight and is approved for puppies 8 weeks and older that weigh at least 2.8 pounds. The FDA has authorized it under an Emergency Use Authorization to treat New World screwworm larvae (myiasis) in dogs and puppies. It is not approved for this use, and the authorization lasts only for the duration of the emergency declaration unless it is ended sooner.
