Virbac Inc. is recalling 8,859 display units of Iverhart Plus and Worm Shield chewable tablets (ivermectin/pyrantel) used for heartworm and worm prevention in large dogs (51-100 lbs.). The recall was initiated because the medication failed stability testing at the 3-month interval, showing lower-than-expected potency. These prescription tablets were distributed nationwide to veterinary distributors in 10-box display units, with each box containing six blister-packaged tablets.
The reduced potency of the active ingredients means the medication may not effectively prevent heartworm disease or control intestinal parasites in dogs. This could lead to undiagnosed infections and serious health complications for pets relying on the treatment.
