Bravecto

Product Overview

Bravecto is a veterinary medication formulated to safeguard dogs against flea and tick infestations. Each chewable tablet contains Fluralaner, an active compound that delivers extended protection against these external parasites. Available in a palatable chewable format, Bravecto offers convenient administration while ensuring optimal efficacy for your canine companion.

Uses

Bravecto is prescribed for both prevention and treatment of flea and tick infestations in dogs. It effectively eliminates fleas and various tick species, including deer ticks, wood ticks, and brown dog ticks. By eradicating these parasites, Bravecto helps prevent the spread of vector-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis, promoting your dog’s health and wellbeing.

How to Use

Administer Bravecto chewable tablets orally as prescribed by your veterinarian. The tablet can be offered directly or mixed with food to facilitate consumption. Ensure complete ingestion of the dose. For sustained protection, administer at recommended intervals to maintain continuous defense against flea and tick infestations.

How it Works

Fluralaner, Bravecto’s active component, is an isoxazoline-class compound that targets the nervous system of parasites. It selectively inhibits neurotransmitter receptors in fleas and ticks, causing paralysis and subsequent death. The compound also interferes with flea reproduction cycles, providing comprehensive protection against reinfestation.

Dosage and Administration

Bravecto dosage is weight-dependent, with multiple tablet strengths available for different dog sizes. Administer the exact dose as prescribed by your veterinarian. For optimal absorption, give with a full meal. The entire tablet must be consumed – do not split or divide doses.

Common Side Effects

Some dogs may experience mild gastrointestinal disturbances such as vomiting or diarrhea. These effects are typically self-limiting. Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions including pruritus, erythema, or localized swelling may occur. Consult your veterinarian if adverse effects persist or intensify.

Warnings

Bravecto is exclusively for canine use – do not administer to cats or other species. Exercise caution in dogs with seizure disorders or neurological conditions.
