DESCRIPTION SECTION
DESCRIPTION
SIMPARICA TRIO (sarolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel chewable tablets) is a flavored, chewable tablet for administration to dogs 8 weeks of age and older. Each tablet is formulated to provide minimum dosages of 0.54 mg/lb (1.2 mg/kg) sarolaner, 0.011 mg/lb (24 μg/kg) moxidectin, and 2.27 mg/lb (5 mg/kg) pyrantel (as pamoate salt).
Sarolaner is a member of the isoxazoline class of parasiticides and the chemical name is 1‑(5’-((5S)-5-(3,5-Dichloro-4-fluorophenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-3-yl)-3’-H-spiro(azetidine-3,1’-(2)benzofuran)-1-yl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethanone. SIMPARICA TRIO contains the S-enantiomer of sarolaner.
Moxidectin is a semi-synthetic methoxime derivative of nemadectin which is a fermentation product of Streptomyces cyaneogriseus subspecies noncyanogenus. Moxidectin is a pentacyclic 16-membered lactone macrolide. The chemical name for moxidectin is (6R,23E,25S)-5-O-Demethyl-28-deoxy-25-[(1E)-1,3-dimethyl-1-buten-1-yl]-6,28-epoxy-23-(methoxyimino)milbemycin B.
Pyrantel belongs to a family classified chemically as tetrahydropyrimidines and the chemical name is (E)‑1,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-1-methyl-2-[2-(2-thienyl) vinyl] pyrimidine 4,4’ methylenebis [3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate] (1:1). It is a yellow, water-insoluble crystalline salt of the tetrahydropyrimidine base and pamoic acid containing 34.7% base activity.
DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
SIMPARICA TRIO is given orally once a month, at the recommended minimum dose of 0.54 mg/lb (1.2 mg/kg) sarolaner, 0.011 mg/lb (24 μg/kg) moxidectin, and 2.27 mg/lb (5 mg/kg) pyrantel (as pamoate salt).

SIMPARICA TRIO can be offered to the dog with or without food.
Care should be taken to ensure that the dog consumes the complete dose and that part of the dose is not lost or refused. If a dose is missed, give SIMPARICA TRIO immediately and resume monthly dosing.
Heartworm Prevention:
SIMPARICA TRIO should be administered at monthly intervals year‑round or at
least within one month of the animal’s first seasonal exposure to mosquitoes
and continuing until at least 1 month after the dog’s last seasonal exposure.
If a dose is missed, give SIMPARICA TRIO immediately and resume monthly
dosing. When replacing a monthly heartworm preventive product, SIMPARICA TRIO
should be given within one month of the last dose of the former medication.
Flea Treatment and Prevention:
Treatment with SIMPARICA TRIO may begin at any time of the year. SIMPARICA
TRIO should be administered year‑round at monthly intervals or started at
least one month before fleas become active.
To minimize the likelihood of flea re‑infestation, it is important to treat all dogs and cats within a household with a flea control product.
Tapeworm Prevention:
Treatment with SIMPARICA TRIO may begin at any time of the year. SIMPARICA
TRIO should be administered year-round at monthly intervals or started at
least one month before fleas become active.
SIMPARICA TRIO will only prevent D. caninum infections by killing the fleas on the treated dog. Dogs may also become infected with D. caninum by ingesting fleas from untreated animals, it is therefore recommended that all pets in a household are treated for fleas.
Tick Treatment and Control:
Treatment with SIMPARICA TRIO can begin at any time of the year. SIMPARICA
TRIO should be administered year‑round at monthly intervals or started at
least one month before ticks become active.
Intestinal Nematode Treatment and Control:
For the treatment of roundworm (immature adult and adult Toxocara canis and
adult Toxascaris leonina) and hookworm (L4, immature adult, and adult
Ancylostoma caninum and adult Uncinaria stenocephala) infections, SIMPARICA
TRIO should be administered once as a single dose. Monthly use of SIMPARICA
TRIO will control any subsequent infections.
WARNINGS SECTION
WARNINGS
Not for use in humans. Keep this and all drugs out of reach of children.
Keep SIMPARICA TRIO in a secure location out of reach of dogs, cats and other animals to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose.
PRECAUTIONS SECTION
PRECAUTIONS
Sarolaner, one of the ingredients in SIMPARICA TRIO, is a member of the isoxazoline class. This class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions including tremors, ataxia, and seizures. Seizures have been reported in dogs receiving isoxazoline class drugs, even in dogs without a history of seizures. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures or neurologic disorders.
Prior to administration of SIMPARICA TRIO, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections. Infected dogs should be treated with an adulticide to remove adult heartworms. SIMPARICA TRIO is not effective against adult D. immitis.
The safe use of SIMPARICA TRIO has not been evaluated in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Following oral administration of SIMPARICA TRIO in Beagle dogs (13 to 15 months of age at the time of initial dosing), sarolaner and moxidectin were rapidly and well-absorbed. Following a single oral dose of SIMPARICA TRIO (sarolaner dose of 1.2 mg/kg), the sarolaner mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 523 ng/mL with a mean time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of 3.5 hours and an absolute bioavailability of 88%. At a moxidectin dose of 0.024 mg/kg, the moxidectin mean Cmax was 13.1 ng/mL with a mean Tmax of 2.4 hours and an absolute bioavailability of 67%.
Following intravenous (IV) dosing of a combination solution of sarolaner and moxidectin, the sarolaner volume of distribution (Vss) was 2.4 L/kg and systemic clearance (CL) was 6.0 mL/kg/hr. For moxidectin the Vss was 7.65 L/kg and CL was 26.6 mL/kg/hr. The terminal half‑lives were similar after oral and IV dosing for both sarolaner (12 days) and moxidectin (11 days). The primary route of elimination of both sarolaner and moxidectin is biliary excretion with minimal metabolism.
Following an oral dose of SIMPARICA TRIO containing 5 mg/kg pyrantel (as pamoate salt), pyrantel has measurable plasma concentrations, but they are low and highly variable. Pyrantel pamoate is intended to remain in the gastrointestinal tract allowing for delivery of effective concentrations to gastrointestinal nematodes.
