Besides antiparasitic drugs that control only external parasites (fleas, ticks, mites, etc.) and those that control only internal parasites (mainly parasitic worms), a few antiparasitic drugs control both external parasites (mainly fleas, very few ones also ticks) and internal parasites (mainly heartworms and roundworms) of dogs and cats.

All these products have in common that they are highly effective (usually >90%) against the parasites and offer at least about 1 month protection against re-infestation. Most of these products need a prescription and are sold only in pharmacies or veterinary clinics. They have been developed by large pharmaceutical or agrochemical companies.

This section of parasitipedia.net lists the most popular brands of these type of products.
