By now you have probably heard about replacement products for Novartis products. Comfortis is a monthly tablet administered to dogs for flea control. Elanco/Lilly states that this product kills fleas within 30 minutes and stops the development of fleas from larvae. A prescription from you veterinarian is required for this product. Trifexis is a monthly tablet administered to dogs for flea control, preventing heartworm, also treats and controls adult hookworm, roundworm and whipworm infections. The manufacturer of Trifexis is also Elanco/Lilly. Trifexis requires a prescription from your veterinarian as well.
These are two relatively new products that I have heard about. I heard about Comfortis in the fall of 2011, and there have been commercials on television for Trifexis since March/April 2012. Isn't it interesting how these two new products which basically do the same thing as Novartis products, Program, Capstar, and Sentinel do are now the products available and the Novartis products are not?
