Bravecto

Product Overview

Bravecto is a veterinary product designed to protect dogs from fleas and ticks. Each chewable tablet contains Fluralaner, an active ingredient that provides long-lasting protection against these external parasites. Bravecto is available in a convenient chewable form, making it easy to administer and ensuring effective treatment for your pet.

Uses

Bravecto is indicated for the prevention and treatment of flea and tick infestations in dogs. It effectively kills fleas and multiple species of ticks, including black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, and brown dog ticks. By eliminating these parasites, Bravecto helps prevent the transmission of diseases such as Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis, keeping your dog healthy and comfortable.

How to Use

Administer Bravecto chewable tablets orally to your dog as directed by your veterinarian. Offer the tablet directly to your dog or mix it with food for easy consumption. Ensure your dog consumes the entire dose. For optimal efficacy, administer Bravecto at the recommended intervals to maintain continuous protection against fleas and ticks.

How it Works

Fluralaner, the active ingredient in Bravecto, belongs to the isoxazoline class of compounds, which acts on the nervous system of fleas and ticks. It works by blocking specific receptors in the parasites’ nervous system, leading to their paralysis and death. Additionally, Fluralaner disrupts the reproduction and development of fleas, preventing infestations and providing long-lasting protection for your dog.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Bravecto chewable tablets is based on your dog’s weight and is available in different strengths to accommodate various sizes of dogs. Administer the appropriate dosage as prescribed by your veterinarian. For optimal efficacy, give Bravecto to your dog with a full meal. Ensure your dog consumes the entire tablet, and do not divide the dose into smaller portions.
