What type of formulation is used for ProHeart's heartworm prevention?

ProHeart is a heartworm prevention medication that is administered via an injectable formulation. This means that the drug is delivered directly into the body through a syringe, which allows for a more sustained release of the medication over a longer period. The injectable form is particularly beneficial as it typically provides protection for an extended duration, making it convenient for pet owners by reducing the frequency of administration compared to other forms like tablets or topical treatments.

Choosing an injectable formulation can also help ensure that the medication is administered effectively, as there is less risk of pets rejecting or spitting out the medication, which can happen with tablets or liquids. Moreover, the long-acting properties of the injectable can lead to consistent levels of the drug in the bloodstream, providing ongoing protection against heartworm throughout its active period.
