Monthly Parasite Protection for Kittens and Small Cats Product Description Midamox Topical Solution for Cats 2–5 lbs is an FDA-approved prescription monthly spot-on parasiticide for kittens and very small cats nine weeks and older within this weight range. The teal-box carton contains three single-dose applicators, each delivering imidacloprid and moxidectin in a precisely measured volume sized specifically for young and small cats. One monthly application covers heartworm disease, flea infestations, ear mites, roundworms, and hookworms. It is bioequivalent to Advantage Multi for Cats. Benefits Right-Sized for Kittens: The smallest applicator in the Midamox range, designed to deliver the correct therapeutic dose for kittens and cats between 2 and 5 lbs without overdosing. Early Heartworm Protection: Starts shielding kittens from Dirofilaria immitis heartworm infection from as early as nine weeks of age with monthly application. Kills Fleas on Young Cats: Rapidly eliminates adult fleas on kittens and tackles active flea infestations affecting young cats and their home environment. Clears Ear Mite Infestations: Each monthly application treats and controls Otodectes cynotis ear mite infestations that are common in young kittens from outdoor or multi-cat settings. Tackles Intestinal Worms Early: Addresses Toxocara cati roundworms and Ancylostoma tubaeforme hookworms that young kittens are especially vulnerable to picking up early in life. Proven Bioequivalent Formula: FDA-confirmed to match Advantage Multi for Cats in active ingredient concentration and clinical performance, at a more accessible price point. Ingredients Active Ingredients Imidacloprid 23mg, Moxidectin 2.3mg per applicator How to Use Midamox Topical Solution for Cats 2–5 lbs is a prescription-only medication. A valid prescription from a licensed veterinarian is required to purchase this medicine. Please follow your veterinarian's specific instructions for dosage, frequency, and administration of this medication for your kitten or cat. Disclaimer: Dosage and administration of this medication must be determined by a licensed veterinarian. Always consult your veterinarian before administering or adjusting any prescription medication for your pet. Additional Information Precautions Minimum Weight of 2 lbs Required: Never apply this product to any kitten weighing less than two pounds, as safety below this minimum has not been established. Minimum Age of 9 Weeks Required: Do not use on kittens under nine weeks of age; this age floor applies regardless of body weight at the time of application. Head Base Application Only: Place the solution at the back of the kitten's head, not between the shoulder blades, to reduce the chance of the kitten reaching and licking the treated spot. Prevent Licking After Application: Keep the treated kitten away from other household animals for at least 30 minutes after application until the site has fully dried. Dog Formula Must Never Be Used on Cats: Moxidectin concentrations in dog applicators are far too high for cats at any age and can be fatal if applied to them. Avoid Use on Unwell Kittens: Kittens that are sick, underweight, or in poor overall condition should not receive this product until a veterinarian gives the go-ahead. Intact Skin Only: Only apply to clean, unbroken skin; do not use if the intended application site is irritated, inflamed, or broken in any way. Possible Side Effects Excessive Drooling: Hypersalivation is the side effect reported most often and usually follows a kitten managing to lick the treated area during grooming. Temporary Coat Changes: Hair at the application site may appear stiff, matted, or greasy for a short while after application; this is completely normal and does not affect the product. Low Mood or Lethargy: Some kittens seem quieter or less playful for a day or two following application; this usually passes on its own without any treatment. Skin Reactions: Redness, itching, minor hair loss, or small skin lesions at the treated spot can show up in some kittens and tend to clear without intervention. Serious Neurological Signs: Trembling, wobbly walking, hiding, or unusual hyperactivity are rare but need urgent veterinary attention the moment they appear. Storage Information Room Temperature Storage: Tuck applicators away from heat and direct light in a consistently cool spot to keep them in good condition until use. Keep Sealed Until Use: Leave each applicator inside its foil pouch right up until the moment of monthly application to protect potency and prevent contamination. Store Away from Kittens and Children: Keep packaging in a secure spot that neither young children nor untreated animals in the home can get into.

Frequently Asked Questions Q1: At what age and weight can kittens safely start using the teal-box Midamox? Ans: The teal-box applicator is safe for kittens that have reached at least nine weeks of age and weigh a minimum of two pounds. Both conditions need to be met before starting. Some kittens hit nine weeks before reaching the weight threshold, so always check with your vet on the right time to begin monthly parasite prevention. Q2: Why does the teal box come with only 3 applicators instead of 6? Ans: Kittens in the 2 to 5 lb range tend to grow out of this weight bracket fairly quickly, making a 3-month supply the more practical choice. Stocking up on a larger quantity risks ending up with the wrong size as the kitten gains weight. Reweighing before each purchase keeps the right applicator matched to the right cat. Q3: Why are young kittens especially vulnerable to roundworm and hookworm infections? Ans: Young kittens can pick up roundworm and hookworm larvae directly through their mother's milk during nursing, even when the mother shows no visible signs of infection. Kittens raised outdoors or in multi-cat households face even higher exposure. Starting treatment at nine weeks helps clear these worms early and supports healthy growth from the start. Q4: Is heartworm prevention really necessary for kittens that stay indoors? Ans: A kitten's indoor status does not fully remove the heartworm risk. Mosquitoes that carry heartworm larvae can make their way inside through open windows and doors. Since cats have no approved treatment once infected, starting monthly prevention early in kittenhood is the most reliable way to keep them protected long term. Q5: How does the teal-box Midamox compare to Advantage Multi for Cats kitten formula? Ans: Midamox teal box is FDA-confirmed bioequivalent to Advantage Multi for Cats, built on the same active ingredients at matching concentrations. Cat owners who switch can count on the same monthly parasite coverage their kittens need, often at a noticeably friendlier price per dose.
