Yes, all drugs have side effects. There might be a list on the package insert. Relatively speaking, they are generally considered safe.
They are not too expensive.
If I had two dogs on Interceptor year-round, it would be about $110 plus testing which is $25 (here anyway) give or take per dog. | OK thank you.
