Results in more long term damage to the heart and may be leading to increased ivermectin resistance.

From the American heartworm society (veterinary specialists that focus on heartworm prevention and treatment of the disease):

quote:

Long-term Macrocyclic Lactone Administration. Slow-kill methods using continuous monthly administration of prophylactic doses of any ML are NOT RECOMMENDED.
