How Does Bravecto Topical Work?
Bravecto Topical for Dogs contains fluralaner, a powerful active ingredient that targets the nervous system of fleas and ticks. After application, fluralaner is absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, providing systemic protection. When fleas or ticks bite the dog, they ingest fluralaner, which causes paralysis and death of the parasites.
How Fast Does Bravecto Topical Work?
Bravecto has been shown to reduce live flea counts by up to 100% within 48 hours for up to 12 weeks. It also demonstrates over 90% effectiveness against ticks within 72 hours after infestation during the 12-week protection period.
Important Notes :
- Bravecto Topical is not effective against Lone Star 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. Use with caution in dogs with a history of neurologic disorders.
