How Does Bravecto Topical Work?
Bravecto Topical for Cats is formulated with fluralaner, a powerful ingredient that inhibits the nervous system of insects. After topical application, fluralaner is absorbed through the skin into underlying tissues, where it provides systemic protection against fleas and ticks. Parasites that bite the cat ingest fluralaner, leading to paralysis and death.
How Fast Does Bravecto Topical Work?
Bravecto has been shown to kill 100% of fleas within 8 hours of treatment and continues to provide protection for up to 12 weeks. It has also demonstrated over 90% effectiveness against black-legged ticks and Asian longhorned ticks within 48 hours post-infestation for 12 weeks.
Moreover, Bravecto spot-on for cats has demonstrated more than 98% effectiveness against American dog ticks within 48 hours post-infestation for up to 8 weeks.
Important Notes :
- Bravecto Topical is not effective against American dog ticks beyond 8 weeks after dosing.
- Contains fluralaner, a member of the isoxazoline class. Isoxazoline drugs have been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including tremors, ataxia, and seizures, even in cats without a history of neurologic disorders. Use with caution in cats with a history of neurologic disorders.
- The safety of Bravecto has not been established in breeding, pregnant, or lactating cats.
