What does Interceptor Spectrum do?

Interceptor Spectrum provides protection against heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis), roundworm (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), whipworm (Trchuris vulpis), hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense) and tapeworm (Echinococcus granulosus, Taenia pisiformis and Dipylidium caninum) in dogs. It aids in the control of the adult hookworm, Uncinaria stenocephala.
