Ivermectin/Pyrantel Pamoate Chewable 272Mcg/652Mg Adverse Event Insights

The FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine database currently holds 5,756 adverse event reports referencing Ivermectin/Pyrantel Pamoate Chewable 272Mcg/652Mg, including 46 reports in which the animal died — a 80.0% case-fatality figure among reported events only, not a population-level mortality rate. Active ingredient on file: Ivermectin/Pyrantel Pamoate Chewable 272Mcg/652Mg. Reported administration routes include Oral, Unknown, Topical. These numbers reflect voluntary submissions from pet owners, veterinarians, and manufacturers and therefore under-represent mild events and over-represent severe ones — a pattern the FDA has documented repeatedly for pharmacovigilance datasets.

The species most frequently named in Ivermectin/Pyrantel Pamoate Chewable 272Mcg/652Mg reports are Dog (5,533 reports), Unknown (217 reports), Cat (3 reports), with Dog accounting for the largest share. Within those species, Retriever - Labrador (1,598), Crossbred Canine/dog (607), Retriever - Golden (536) appear most often — though breed popularity and ownership density shape these counts as much as any drug-specific sensitivity. This distribution matters because the same active ingredient can behave very differently across body sizes, ages, and species physiology.

The most commonly reported clinical signs associated with Ivermectin/Pyrantel Pamoate Chewable 272Mcg/652Mg are Digestive tract disorder NOS (2,623), INEFFECTIVE, HEARTWORM LARVAE (1,942), Cardiac disorder NOS (1,897), Lack of efficacy (endoparasite) - hookworm (1,376). Of the 5,556 reports with a coded outcome, Outcome Unknown is the leading category at 59.3%. Because FDA adverse event data describes correlation rather than causation, these figures are best used to frame informed questions with a veterinarian and to compare reporting patterns across related products — not as a standalone safety verdict on Ivermectin/Pyrantel Pamoate Chewable 272Mcg/652Mg.
