Imoxat may interact with other veterinary medicines; monitor the following combinations.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Co‑administration with other macrocyclic lactones (e.g., ivermectin) can increase neurotoxicity risk. - Use with organophosphate insecticides may potentiate cholinergic toxicity.

Frequently asked questions

What is Imoxat used for?+
Imoxat is a veterinary antiparasitic product that combines imidacloprid and moxidectin to control fleas, ticks, heartworm and common intestinal nematodes in dogs and cats. It is used by veterinarians to prevent and treat these external and internal parasites in companion animals.
How does imidacloprid/moxidectin work?+
Imidacloprid binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insects, causing continuous nerve stimulation and paralysis. Moxidectin targets glutamate‑gated chloride channels in nematodes and arthropods, increasing chloride influx, which hyperpolarises the cell membrane and leads to parasite paralysis and death.
What is the usual dose of Imoxat?+
The dose of Imoxat is determined by the prescribing veterinarian based on the animal’s species, weight, age and the specific parasites being treated. The product label provides dosing guidelines, but the final regimen is set by the animal health professional.
Is Imoxat safe for pregnant or nursing animals?+
Safety data for Imoxat in breeding, pregnant or lactating animals are limited. Veterinarians should evaluate the risk‑benefit ratio and may recommend alternative treatments if there are concerns about fetal or neonatal exposure.
How do I order Imoxat from GNH USA?+
To order Imoxat, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com with the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Imoxat compare with other antiparasitic products?+
Imoxat combines two active ingredients, offering broad‑spectrum activity against both ectoparasites (via imidacloprid) and endoparasites (via moxidectin). This dual action can simplify treatment protocols compared with using separate products, but selection should consider parasite prevalence, resistance patterns and individual animal health status.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Imoxat?+
Imoxat should be stored below 25 °C in its original packaging, protected from moisture and direct light. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children and animals. Do not freeze or expose the product to extreme temperatures.
How is Imoxat administered to animals?+
Imoxat is typically applied topically to the skin or given orally, depending on the specific formulation supplied. The veterinarian will demonstrate the correct application site or oral dosing technique and advise on any necessary precautions during administration.
What are the most serious risks associated with Imoxat?+
Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, neurological signs like tremors or seizures, and profound gastrointestinal upset (e.g., hemorrhagic diarrhea). Owners should monitor treated animals closely and seek immediate veterinary care if any of these signs develop.
Who should not use Imoxat?+
Imoxat should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity to imidacloprid, moxidectin or any formulation components. It is also contraindicated in very young puppies or kittens (under eight weeks) and in breeding animals unless a veterinarian determines the benefits outweigh the risks.
