How does Iverhart Plus work? Ivermectin eliminates the larval (immature) form of Dirofilaria immitus . This prevents the development of the adult stage of the heartworm. Ivermectin works by causing paralysis of the parasite which eventually causes its death. Pyrantel pamoate kills adult hookworms ( Ancylostoma caninum, A. brasiliense , and Uncinaria stenocephala ) and roundworms (ascarids - Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina )in the intestine. Is there a generic equivalent available? Iverhart Plus is the generic equivalent of Heartgard Plus. How is it given? Iverhart Plus chewable tablets are given orally and will be equally effective whether chewed or swallowed whole. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed for a few minutes after administration to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or rejected. Iverhart Plus must be administered monthly, preferably on the same date each month. Drs. Fo
