Administer Trifexis with food for maximum effectiveness. Trifexis is a chewable beef-flavored tablet that can be given as a treat.
Trifexis kills fleas on dogs before they can lay eggs when used monthly and according to the label directions. Remember that all animals in the household should be treated with an approved flea product to help control the flea population. Your dog can continue to be exposed to fleas that live in the environment. When fleas jump onto and bite your dog, they will be killed by Trifexis. If, within a month after your dog receives Trifexis, you see fleas on your dog, they are most likely new fleas. These new fleas will be killed before they can produce eggs that contaminate the environment. Continued monthly use of Trifexis can protect against any new infestations.
Trifexis is indicated to treat and control intestinal parasite infections of adult hookworms, roundworms and whipworms in dogs. In occasional cases, it is possible that you might see intestinal worms being expelled in your dog’s stool — this means Trifexis is working. If you have questions, consult your veterinarian for measures you can take to prevent a reinfection of intestinal parasites.
Spinosad and milbemycin oxime are the two active ingredients in Trifexis.
Trifexis has been demonstrated to be safe in healthy dogs when used according to label directions. Spinosad, one of its active ingredients, is produced by a bacterium first isolated from natural sources (a soil sample collected in the Caribbean). 1
1. Spinosad selectively targets the nervous system of the flea (and other insects) due to differences in the targeted receptors compared to mammalian nervous systems. 2
2. However, as with all medications, sensitivities in individual animals can occur, sometimes resulting in side effects. See the Trifexis label for complete safety information.
No, Trifexis is not approved for use in cats. Trifexis was developed exclusively for administration to dogs.

Important Safety Information
The use of ivermectin at higher than FDA-approved doses at the same time as Trifexis can result in serious side effects. Treatment with fewer than three monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes may not provide complete heartworm prevention. Prior to administration of Trifexis, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection. Use with caution in breeding females. The safe use of Trifexis in breeding males has not been evaluated. Use with caution in dogs with pre-existing epilepsy. The most common adverse reactions reported are vomiting, decreased activity, itching, decreased appetite, and diarrhea. To ensure heartworm prevention, observe your dog for one hour after administration. If vomiting occurs within an hour of administration, redose with another full dose. Puppies less than 14 weeks of age may experience a higher rate of vomiting. For complete safety information, please see Trifexis product label or ask your veterinarian.
