This drug appears to be quite interesting.
It is a combination of milbemycin oxime (which is what Interceptor is based on, and is an excellent wormer in the same general class as ivermectin) and a newly-developed, organically-friendly product called Spinosad.
This is the first time I have heard of it, so I can't comment too much right now, but it does look to be a very promising, environmentally-sound product to use.
Have you tried it?

No i just heard about it today. I may be mistaken but i believe it is a relatively new drug. It SOUNDS good.
If you look at the Wikipedia reference, the claims about it sound interesting, but (at this point) came with no accredited published studies. You will also note that Wikipedia may remove these claims if they are unsupported. This falls in line with the trouble I had with diatomaceous earth not too long ago.Quote:

If so, share them here :D

Comfortis is a new flea medication given in oral tablet form. It's main ingredient is Spinosad. I use it on my housedog and my outside mutt, and it works very well.
I use comfortis as well on my dogs a bit pricey but it works I really looking to get that trifexis
I've used trifexis a few times, I got it from the vet. I've since went back to my normal routine but not because of anything negative with trifexis, I just hate being dependent on the vet for stuff and I couldn't find another place to get it. Seemed to work well though.
