Bravecto
– Mode of Action
Both Bravecto topical
and chewable treatments contain fluralaner as the active ingredient (Bravecto
Plus contains fluralaner and moxidectin). Once applied on the pet’s skin, the
active ingredient spreads across the skin and fur of your pet. When a flea
and/or tick bite the pet, it ingests a fluralaner that disrupts the nervous
system of the parasite, leading to paralysis and killing it.
Bravecto chewable
works by entering the dog’s bloodstream after ingestion and spreading
throughout the body. When fleas and ticks feed on their blood, they consume
fluralaner and die. Moxidectin in the Bravecto Plus paralyzes the immature
stages of heartworms and kills them. It also eliminates intestinal roundworms
and hookworms. .
