Summary

Virbac Corporation is recalling 10,580 blister packs of Iverhart Max Chew (ivermectin/pyrantel pamoate/praziquantel), a heartworm and parasite medication for dogs. The recall was initiated because the product failed to meet average chew weight specifications during stability testing. This issue could potentially impact the dosage or consistency of the medication provided to pets.

Risk

The failure to meet weight specifications means the chews may not contain the intended amount of active ingredients, which could lead to inconsistent dosing and potentially reduced effectiveness in protecting pets against parasites.
