    Possible Side Effects: A wide margin of safety was demonstrated in clinical trials at the recommendeddose level in cats and kittens 6 weeks of age and older and in laboratory studies in cats with circulating microfilariae of D. immitis. A wide margin of safety has also been demonstrated at 3 times the recommended dose in pregnant or breeding queens and breeding toms. No adverse effects were observed in either male or female cats or their offspring in breeding studies. A 30-fold safety margin over the minimum recommended dosage was established in a single dose tolerance study. In growing kittens dosed monthly for 8 consecutive doses, one cat given 5 times the market dose vomited and a second cat in this group experienced diarrhea within 24 hours of the initial treatment. In clinical trials, many commonly used flea control products, anthelmintics, vaccines, antibiotics and steroid preparations were administered with HEARTGARD (ivermectin) Chewables for Cats without incident.
