Default Heartworm Dosing Venting

I was just reading this:
Interceptor-HW prevention-dose advice
http://onibasu.com/archives/kn/145292.html
NADA 140-886

I am not happy.

So Interceptor is 5 times more powerful than it needs to be just so they can say it kills intestinal worms. I would like to use the safeheart dose but the smallest that comes in is what Ellie is on now.

So I thought I would stick with Heartgard (not Heartgard Plus).
Now I see that this is at least three times more drugs than she needs EVERY MONTH!!!

Do you think it would be a bad idea to get Ivermectin and give her the exact dose (under vet's supervision)? It seems like so much work though...

Any ideas?
I won't use Revolution and I will only buy if I need a prescription.
