Milteforan

20 mg/ml, miltefosine 20 mg/ml, oral solution for dogs
Assessed clinical scopeDog · Labelled treatment of clinical canine leishmaniosis as part of an appropriate combination protocol · By mouth
Care settingVeterinary-directed outpatient treatment with staging, combination therapy and long-term relapse monitoring
vetman score 7.8/10 Good
Evidence confidence: High Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 26-11 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A strong, evidence-supported component of combination treatment for clinical canine leishmaniosis; never use it as stand-alone curative therapy.

Regulatory and scientific credibility8.5/10

The exact 20 mg/ml oral solution has current EU product information and active Georgian veterinary registration (26-11), supported by a current specialist consensus.

Clinical efficacy8.0/10

Miltefosine 2 mg/kg daily for 28 days with allopurinol is a guideline-supported first-line combination with consistent clinical improvement, but it is not curative and monotherapy is not recommended.

Safety and tolerability7.0/10

Vomiting, diarrhoea and reduced appetite are recognised; pregnancy, lactation and breeding are contraindicated, and severe hepatic or cardiac disease requires benefit-risk assessment.

Clinical practicality7.5/10

Once-daily food-based liquid dosing is workable, but accurate weight dosing, gloves and completion of a 28-day course materially affect clinical delivery.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

Price was not assessed and is excluded from the overall score.

Important safety and use flags

  • Do not use during pregnancy, lactation or in breeding animals; pregnant or potentially pregnant women must not administer it.
  • Use with allopurinol in an appropriate staged protocol; monotherapy is not recommended and parasitological cure is not expected.
