ABSTRACT:
A medication and method for treating heartworms in dogs, which medication includes a time release capsule or tablet dosage structure which is characterized either by discrete elements (capsule) or an outer layer or layers (tablet) of vasoconstricting and bronchial dilating medications and an inner, time-released layer or pellets of diethylcarbamazine. The vasoconstrictors and bronchial dilators are designed to counteract life-threatening vasodilation and bronchial constriction resulting from the release of acetylcholine by the dog when the heartworms are attacked by the diethylcarbamazine. The solid dosage structure can be constructed by layering such vasoconstrictors and bronchial dilators as prednisone, ephedrine, digoxin and dextroamphetamine sulfate in separate layers or combining these ingredients in a single layer separated from the diethylcarbamazine by a time-release substance such as gelatin. The capsule dosage structure includes discrete beads or elements of the medications in a capsule containing a time release, therapeutic dosage of the diethylcarbamazine. Alternatively, the vasoconstrictors and bronchial dilator medications can be injected or administered orally prior to treatment with the diethylcarbamazine according to the method of this invention.
