Is combining Iverheart and Pyrantel equivalent to Iverheart Plus?

Question

There was a screw up with an online vet order and the Heartworm medication sent is Ivermectin only (Iverheart), not Ivermectin/Pyrantel (Iverheart Plus). So, I purchased Pyrantel Pamoate 50mg/ml solution. Since the old pills had 57mg Pyrantel given monthly....is giving roughly 1 ml (50mg Pyrantel Pamoate) solution on the same monthly schedule as the Iverheart the same thing as giving Iverheart Plus? (15lb and 20lb dachshund mixes that are recently screened rescues). Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Female | 17 lbs

Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The general dose of the liquid pyrantal is 1 ml per 10 pounds of body weight. You can very safely give 1.5 ml to the 15 pound dog & 2.0 ml to the 20 pound dog every month with the Iverheart & this is essentially the Iverheart Plus. Take care.
