Credelio Flea & Tick Treatment
The active ingredient Lotilaner is an ectoparasiticide from isoxazoline group. Lotilaner inhibits insect and acarine gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channels. This blocks the transfer of chloride ions across cell membranes, which results in uncontrolled neuromuscular activity leading to the death of insects and acarines.
