Nexgard is a monthly chewable flea and tick treatment formulated for small dogs (4-10kg), killing fleas within hours and providing a full month of protection from a single palatable dose.

Composition: Each chewable tablet contains 28.3mg Afoxolaner, dosed at a minimum of 2.5mg/kg body weight.

Indications: Flea infestation; tick infestation; prevention of tick fever

Dosage: One chewable tablet once a month, matched to the dog's 4-10kg weight band. Weigh the dog accurately before administration.

Directions for use: Give with or after a meal. Most dogs accept it as a treat; watch for a few minutes to confirm the full tablet is swallowed.

How does the medicine work: Afoxolaner selectively inhibits GABA-gated and glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nervous systems of fleas and ticks, causing uncontrolled nerve activity and death, while having much lower affinity for the corresponding mammalian receptors.

Possible side effects: Isoxazoline-class drugs have been associated with neurologic adverse reactions such as tremors, ataxia and seizures - use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures.
