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 ef ective against adult D. immitis and, while the number of circulating micro lariae may decrease following treatment, Selarid is not effective for microfilariae clearance.
